Book Description
Open source is pervasive in our society, with millions of open source projects and hundreds starting daily. Open source is what is referred to as a "scratch your own itch" model, meaning that what drives forward a project is what contributors and maintainers want from it. We've seen many models for how to start and run open source projects, along with business models around these projects that have had economic impacts in the billions of dollars. Building on this knowledge, how can you best build a successful, scalable, and sustainable open source project? In this book, you will explore the full cycle of open source projects, from inception, through launch to a mature state, and then see how to sunset an open source project. Along the way, you will learn about the concepts of licensing, governance, community building, ecosystem management, and growing maintainers and contributors, as well as see how other open source projects have been successful or might have struggled in this area. The book will serve you both as a guide as well as a reference, and one that both those new to open source, as well as experienced maintainers, will find as a valuable resource. It will also help you grow a career in open source and showcase how your word will help you find new opportunities and stay ahead in developing the skills needed as technology evolves.
