Taking OverSomeone Else’s Open Source Projects

"When you lose interest in a program, your last duty to it is to hand it off to a competent

successor.”!!

- “The Cathedral and the Bazaar”, Eric S. Raymond

I (we) need it.

No

Nobody wants to be in charge.

Step up.

Get in touch.

People are human.

Fork it.

Own it.

.com !.io

Real work begins.

Organize it.

Recruit the hopeless.

Make a release.

Pickup everything.

Create workflow.

A reputation of caring.

Create owners.

Ignore chickens.

Always make progress.

“We have more source code than we need.”
