Society depends on software. Software encodes a model of the world—but the world changes. Thus, society needs software to change. This requires maintenance. The reality is that 70% of all software running in production is FOSS (Synopsis, 2020). FOSS has won, and is bigger than you think. Yet, FOSS in the vast majority of cases is “one person” and 60–85% of FOSS is a hobby (Tidelift, 2024)—and there is no link to the criticality of a package. #GUADEC2026 #GUADEC #GNOME

Modal Collective aims to solve this across the stack with emancipatory, local-first computing.

Historically the model of FOSS has been “Swords”: a fight where users choose between proprietary and FOSS even if both can be commercial. FOSS tries to get community, is centered on user’s rights, and is driven by foundations, digital rights orgs, etc. And it makes sense for sovereignty. But Thomas posits that the model has its problems as well, especially when you compare it to the goals of FOSS, the constraints of reality, and our means. https://www.youtube.com/live/EGazCEww9II #GUADEC2026 #GUADEC #GNOME

Thomas compares this to a “Plowshare” model; one where we accomplish the same amount of work with more useful output and better tools. It better fits the reality of limited resources, and hobbyist maintainership, but does it help us stay within our means, and achieve our goals?
