I thought it might be an interesting read for some of you: [1] "Building an Open Source Community" by Phil Whitehouse Unfortunately I am not familiar with this guy and his opinions, and imho his points listed in the article are somewhat idealistic (which doesn't actually make them bad). I will avoid citing any of them here, since you might spot peculiar ones on your own
[2] "Producing Open Source Software: How to Run a Successful Free Software Project" by Karl Fogel It is referenced in comments to [1] and it seems to be much more extended than just a list of the main aspects. But let me just quote 1 sentence from the introduction ,--- | Running a free software project is not exactly like running a business | (imagine having to constantly negotiate the nature of your product with | a group of volunteers, most of whom you've never met!). `--- Enjoy the readings ;) [1] https://fossbazaar.org/?q=content/building-open-source-community [2] http://producingoss.com/ -- .-. =------------------------------ /v\ ----------------------------= Keep in touch // \\ (yoh@|www.)onerussian.com Yaroslav Halchenko /( )\ ICQ#: 60653192 Linux User ^^-^^ [175555] _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
