Winding Down an Open Source Project

For 2018, I’ve made a commitment to myself to simply WRITE AND SHARE more. I used to be really good at cranking out posts but I’ve been so heads down in running and building out open source foundations that I’ve neglected sharing what I’ve learned over the years. I recently wrote a post about the process of starting an open source program for your company:

Also yesterday we posted a new open source program guide in the TODO Group about what to do when you unfortunately wind down an open source project:

While some open source foundations have well defined project lifecycles with notions of an “attic” or “archive” – many companies who open source projects generally do not.

Anyways, I hope these articles are useful to you and you learn something new 🙂
