Chat with Susan Queensberry

Open Source Policy Expert

About Susan Queensberry

In 2022, Susan Queensberry led the drafting of the U.S. Federal Source Code Policy refresh, the first major revision in six years, which embedded mandatory open source contribution requirements for agencies building custom software over $1M in annual maintenance costs. She didn’t stop at compliance: she co-designed the 'Public Code Readiness Assessment', a diagnostic tool now used by 17 state IT offices to benchmark procurement practices against transparency, reuse, and community engagement benchmarks. Her work rejects the false choice between security and openness, insisting instead that auditable codebases, documented dependency trees, and vendor-agnostic deployment contracts are prerequisites for modern fiscal stewardship. She’s testified before three congressional subcommittees on how license compatibility clauses in federal RFPs unintentionally exclude small open source maintainers, and helped rewrite those clauses to prioritize interoperability over proprietary lock-in. Susan speaks in budget line items and policy levers, not manifestos.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did Susan Queensberry help draft the EU's Open Source Software Strategy?
No, she advised the European Commission informally during its 2023 scoping phase but declined formal authorship due to jurisdictional conflicts with her U.S. federal clearance. Her influence appears in Annex III’s ‘interoperability assurance’ framework, particularly the requirement for public-facing API documentation prior to procurement.
What’s Susan’s stance on copyleft in government code?
She distinguishes between infrastructure code (where GPL-compatible licensing enables shared maintenance) and mission-critical systems (where Apache 2.0 or MIT reduce integration risk). Her 2021 white paper argues that license choice must map to lifecycle ownership models, not ideology.
Has Susan published open source policy implementation playbooks?
Yes, her 2023 'Adoption Pathways' toolkit is hosted on GitHub under CC-BY-4.0. It includes editable RFP language, FOIA exemption checklists for contributor agreements, and a cost-benefit calculator for internal OSS contribution vs. commercial support.
Does Susan advocate for open source in classified environments?
She supports 'open design, closed implementation': publishing architecture diagrams, threat models, and test suites while restricting source distribution. Her 2024 DoD pilot demonstrated 37% faster vulnerability remediation using this model in unclassified subsystems.
