Tom and Chunga were highly confused by last weeks episode of The Mandalorian. They came away from the story annoyed and wondering what happened! This confusion reminded each of them about a situation thats currently happening with Idem Project. In the world of open source software, there are always two distinct masters that need to be served. There's the open source community, and then there's the customer. Sometimes their needs align--most of the time they don't.  In this episode of The Hacks, Tom and Chunga talk about the respective challenges of trying to serve the needs of an open source community, while trying to please the software customers that are required in order for the project to succeed.  Listen NOW! Check out the amazing new Idem Project! Join the Salt Project community!
