   The open source ecosystem won't begin to understand the impact of the #GoogleLayoffs for a little while yet, but we really need to pay attention. They wrote a lot of checks, and did a lot of work behind the scenes, and some of the people instrumental in that work are now gone.

   Google's membership and foundations renewals next year will be revealing.

     @emmah It'll be interesting to see if we learn from what comes next. There were a lot of eggs in that particular basket.

     @duane and this highlights a flaw with our open source ecosystem, and people before me have pointed out the dangers in a system that depends on private wealth to sustain it.
