Ask HN: How to make a project open-source? What to care about?
I’m co-founder at Herni Labs (herni.co). We’ve been working on an IoT Platform as our main product, but due to recent developments in the market, we decided to make this platform open source and focus on individual, separate applications ourselves, while contributing to makers and hobbyist builders via this OSS.
Right now I’m doing research about making any project open source, what to look for, what are the initial steps, how to manage contributions, how to build a community around it and so forth. To learn these better, I’d like to meet with people who previously experienced this process first-hand and talk to them.
Is there anybody here who fits this description or is there anybody you know who can guide me through this process?
If yes, can you drop a comment about your experience? Or maybe redirect me to right resources?
Cheers, Metin ️
