Open source should be sustainable—not exhausting. In this FOSSASIA Summit 2026 session, Naruhiko Ogasawara shares his personal journey from burnout to recovery, introducing the concept of "Yuru" participation—a flexible, low-pressure approach to contributing to open source.

Learn how small contributions, documentation, translations, and casual community involvement can help contributors reconnect without the pressure of constant activity. This inspiring talk offers practical strategies for preventing burnout while building healthier, more resilient open-source communities.
