This dialogue will take place on November 7th at 12pm CT and will explore how free/libre and open source software (FLOSS) projects adapt their work processes to recruit new contributors and build the project communities that they want, and how FLOSS projects redesign collaboration processes within different environments and moments in project lifecycles. Professor Igor Steinmacher (Northern Arizona University) will be joining Matt Gaughan (Northwestern University) to present recent research on topics including:

* Documentation practices in FLOSS projects * Disconnect between guidelines and reality * Sustainability challenges in FOSS communities * Leveraging AI for scalable mentorship * Structural shifts for long-term health
