The Armchair-Scientist’s Principles to a Successful Open Source Project

A challenge often experienced by open-source projects is getting not only the first contribution from someone other than the core maintainers but also someone’s second and tenth contributions. The same goes for communities around an open-source project. In this talk, we will aggregate some better practices around open source projects from sources like Dawn Foster, review some good (and poor) examples, and offer up some easily implementable steps that won’t stress out the maintainers or the contributors.
