Seems like a good time to throw out a reminder regarding "Roads and Bridges: The Unseen Labor Behind Our Digital Infrastructure" by Nadia Asparouhova. While she may have published it in 2016, it's still relevant today and speaks to the need for the private sector generally (looking at you VC firms) to support and understand the open source work, hours of unfunded labor, powering our societies.

Big Tech should really be footing the bill here as well as large established VC firms.

EDIT: or are you rather thinking about the book Working in Public: The Making and Maintenance of Open Source Software?
