With some of the biggest names in tech leading the charge, open source technology is set to change the way we process, stream and analyze data.
Create a Long-Term Contribution Strategy
The success of open source projects depends on companies providing long-term tools and solutions, so try not to invest in isolation. There are several questions to ask during the planning process: What problem is being solved by this contribution? What are the long-term implications for the business? Will the project exist under the same terms year after year? Establishing your own code of conduct before taking an internal project public will help set clear expectations and goals. You're bound to run into issues eventually, so be sure to document everything, from setup instructions to troubleshooting to the code of conduct.
