Recently at the :digitalcourage: #Aktivcongress @kirschner and me were discussing social problems in #FreeSoftware and #OpenSource after I gave some input on how such projects are created and how they evolve.

My presentation is basically the same as the one I used in my master's #colloquium about the #JackTrip project https://jacktrip.org investigating its #SoftwareArchitecture and focusing the phenomenon of #ArchitecturalErosion in #AcademicSoftware.

I'm currently working on ways to release a 📄 paper within this year. Stay tuned. 🙃

Today I finished my #mastersthesis. While on my way to the exam board I start tuning in with #ABurialAtSea for upcoming weekends that I can devote to my #music instead of writing. 📝

I studied a great #FreeSoftware :fsf: project for #realtime #NetworkedMusicPerformance but the focus was its #SoftwareArchitecture, the phenomenon of #ArchitecturalErosion in #OSS, and related issues in #AcademicSoftware.

Though this sounds like a #FantasticAdventure, it's also an exhausting one. But "[I] Really Did Grow After All". 🎸
