Hello TriLUGgers --[...]
I would like to solicit your advice and comments about starting and managing a small-scale OSS project. The things that immediately spring to mind include:
Sorry if this request seems rather nebulous and ignorant, but I was hoping to get a thread going with some ideas about "What would be some better ways to get off the ground" and "What nasty things you would certainly want to avoid from the start." Regardless, I value the opinions of TriLUG members and think this could be a fun topic to discuss fer a while.
Hi David,
TriLUG has actually talked about hosting local open source projects some. We have a machine in our rack right now that is just waiting on a volunteer to step up and get GForge (http://www.gforge.org/) working on it. O:-) We've also mentioned a CVS and/or possibly a Subversion server. In addition, we recently started hosting the mailing lists for the Aurora Sparc Linux project. So, basically, if you decide to go through with your project and need a place to host it, you might consider asking here. :-)
