Earlier this year on February 2nd, 2020 Jon Evans and his team of archivists took a snapshot of all active public repositories on GitHub and sent it to a decommissioned coal mine in the Svalbard archipelago where it will be stored for the next 1,000 years.
On this episode, Jon chats with Jerod all about the GitHub Archive Program and how they’re preserving open source software for future generations.
