Open Source Project Momentum: What it Takes
Many projects are initiated to solve a problem that an organization or a user is experiencing. Thanks to the magic of open source, the community can serve to help solve the problem and, ideally, offer solutions better than the creators had originally hoped for. The maintainers’ main mission is largely about helping to make sure the software platform or tool continues to improve and to ensure the contributions are properly maintained and managed. In this edition of The New Stack Makers podcast, host Alex Williams, founder and publisher of The New Stack and guests Michael Michael, director of products, VMware, Travis Nielsen, senior principal software engineer, Red Hat, Annette Clewett, principal architect, Red Hat and Rob Szumski, senior manager, product management, OpenShift at Red Hat discuss how an open source project develops, changes and becomes sustainable.
