We’re excited to share that ReShare has been in the spotlight on CAVAL’s podcast, Shelf Matters, with the episode “Open Source vs. Big Vendors: A conversation with Sebastian Hammer.” This episode features two familiar faces: Sae Ra Germaine (Deputy CEO of CAVAL and ReShare Product Committee member) and Sebastian Hammer (co-founder of Index Data and ReShare Steering Committee member).
Both Sae Ra and Sebastian reflect on their journeys building and supporting open source library platforms, and Sae Ra noted how rare it is for a national library to embrace open source so fully, highlighting the impressive progress made in Australia and the courage and commitment behind it. Their discussion offers a thoughtful look at what makes community-led resource sharing development special and why openness matters.
We invite everyone interested in library technology, resource sharing, and community led initiatives to listen: Open Source vs. Big Vendors: A conversation with Sebastian Hammer
Thanks to CAVAL and Index Data for highlighting the people and partnership powering ReShare and other open source library initiatives.
