Winding Down an Open Source Project

By

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 🙂

Launching TODO Group Guides

By

In my participation with the TODO Group, we recently published a set of open source guides (under CC-BY-SA 4.0) dedicated to help companies build out open source programs:

In the last year or so, we have seen companies like AWS build out an open source program via @AWSOpen and even companies like VMWare hired their first Chief Open Source Officer.

We’ve had many organizations approach TODO Group members asking for advice on how to get started with an open source program and these guides are a reaction to that. It is our hope that these are living guides and evolve with community input over time.
