FOSS Project
Leslie Hawthorn (@lhawthorn) - Lydia Pintscher (@nightrose)
Why does it matter?
by studio-d on flickr (cc by-nc)
Your community is a snowflake(and so are ours)
Don't go on like nothing is happening
(act now)
Choose your infrastructure
wisely
Make sure the project survives
when people leave
Find areas with a low bus-factor pro-
actively
Create a legal entity
Fiduciary Licensing Agreements
Recreate community feeling on a smaller scale
Make it possible to not know everything
Pro tip: community story
time
Make it easy to join
Make it easy to leave
Know your dependencies
(and diversify)
Questions?!
