London Java Community:How to run a successful Open Source Project
How to run a successful Open Source Project
Open Source has become an increasingly important methodology for
developing software, it can deliver business, technical and social
advantages to what is an incredibly difficult discipline. However,
many developers and organisations fall into the trap of assuming that
just releasing the source code makes for a successful Open Source
Project. Sadly, a vast majority of Open Source projects do fail due
to this simplistic view of what is required.
This talk will hopefully help others avoid that pitfall by covering
the various aspects of how to run a successful Open Source project,
including:
- Getting started (Choosing your project name, Mission Statement, etc)
- Setting up your technical, social and political infrastructure
- Money
- Communications
- Packaging, Releasing and Daily Development
- Managing your volunteers
- Licensing, Patents and Copyright
Martijn also hopes at the end of the talk to have a beer in the pub
with you all afterwards!
