<p>We are <em>extremely</em> excited to have on our first FOSS & Crafts guest:
<a href="https://upsilon.cc/~zack/">Stefano Zacchiroli</a>!
(Also known on some corners of the FOSS world as just "zack".)
Stefano has a long history of FOSS advocacy, most famously for
<a href="https://upsilon.cc/~zack/hacking/debian/">his role in Debian</a>
where he served three well-regarded terms as Debian Project Leader.
These days zack works on
<a href="https://www.softwareheritage.org/">Software Heritage</a>,
an archival institution for software source code.
We talk about how Software Heritage plays a role in common with other
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLAM_(industry_sector)">GLAM institutions</a>
(which stands for "Galleries, Libraries Archives and Museums").</p><p>. o O (Could we possibly have a more appropriate FOSS & Crafts first
