"Building Strong and Sustainable Open Source Projects" by Lawrence Gray (Strange Loop 2023)

This talk draws parallels between an epic road trip and the process of building solid and sustainable open-source communities. Just like the road trip filled with surprises, new friends, and life lessons, building an open-source community can be an unpredictable and rewarding adventure. Key lessons from the road trip experience can be applied to open-source community building, such as having a clear purpose and vision, embracing openness and diversity, being open to surprises, learning from failures, and celebrating successes. The talk further provides practical dos and don'ts for building successful open-source projects. By keeping these lessons in mind, open-source communities can thrive and evolve, fostering innovation and collaboration.
