[5305.34 --> 5308.18] Jared and I really enjoy this hallway track series.
[5308.18 --> 5308.58] We do.
[5308.58 --> 5313.80] When we go to conferences like this, it really takes a lot out of us, but it also puts a lot
[5313.80 --> 5314.80] right back into us.
[5314.80 --> 5321.84] Because we get to do shows like this, to have an anthology episode like this with many voices,
[5321.84 --> 5328.08] many perspectives on how to open source, how to maintain open source, how to support open
[5328.08 --> 5332.82] source, how to love and support open source software maintainers.
[5332.82 --> 5335.64] This is why we do what we do.
[5335.98 --> 5343.06] Because like you, our lives depend on open source software and therefore open source software
[5343.06 --> 5344.14] maintainers.
[5344.42 --> 5353.34] So if you haven't yet, head to maintainermonth.github.com and find ways to participate and celebrate
[5353.34 --> 5354.52] Maintainer Month.
[5354.74 --> 5360.50] They've got news, a schedule, and a library of resources to tap into.
[5360.50 --> 5363.86] Again, maintainermonth.github.com.
[5363.86 --> 5370.62] And also thank you again to our friends at GitHub for helping us get to open source summit
[5370.62 --> 5371.84] 2023 this year.
[5372.04 --> 5373.78] It was an absolute blast.
[5373.90 --> 5378.52] We met so many people and it was an awesome experience recording all these episodes.
[5378.90 --> 5386.32] And once again, a big thank you to our friends at Fastly, Fly, and also Type Sense.
[5386.78 --> 5387.90] But that is it.
[5387.96 --> 5388.86] This show is done.
[5388.86 --> 5390.86] We will see you on Friday.

• Sourcegraph is fast and has no latency due to its classical CPU-based code
• Privacy is extremely important to the company, including individual developers and enterprise customers
• The company has zero retention policies with language model providers, ensuring data is never used as training data
• The language model providers forget user data as soon as the request is complete
• Sourcegraph has always taken user and code privacy seriously to serve enterprise customers.
• Language models have increased value and sensitivity of user data
• Users should have control and ownership over their data
• Large language models can "memorize" user data and potentially be used for malicious purposes
• Transparency and clear communication about data usage and privacy policies are essential
• A clear terms of use agreement is presented to users, but its clarity and length are discussed
