[$] Designing for failure
Nobody starts a free-software project hoping that it will fail, so it is arare project indeed that plans for its eventual demise.

At the 2017linux.conf.au in Hobart, Tasmania, he used his keynote slot to talk aboutthe lessons that have been learned about designing a project for failure.
