The speaker lineup at POSSCON is world-class.
POSSCON turned out to be a great event. Big thanks to Jeffrey Hammond, Lee Congdon, Mark Anzani and Deb Bryant for a great AM of panel discussion
Thanks to Matt Asay for moderating our panel at POSSCON. Well worth the trip to South Carolina. Great regional event.
The synergy between developers, business people, and teachers makes POSSCON pretty unique, I haven't really seen this anywhere else.
It was very nicely run and I think you did a bang-up job. You should all be proud of what you did.
This is like nothing you've ever seen before. You can look at the pictures, you can watch the videos... but just like a concert, you have to be there.
Starting a New Open Source Project: The Project Lifecycle and How to Be Successful

There’s no question a good project manager is key to supporting an open source project, keeping contributors in the communication loop and acting as an interface to the open source community. However, these attributes come with knowledge and experience of how to start a project, gain committer momentum and manage the project through chokepoints.
A project’s lifecycle can be very fluid, and changes to the project’s ecosystem (e.g., changes in committers) may cause unintended lulls in activity and frustrations within the community. Paula Hunter, executive director of the Outercurve Foundation, will discuss how to guide an open source project through its lifecycle, using an active OSS project as an example. Hunter will describe a set of services and activities key to ensuring a project successfully navigates the project lifecycle, and will give examples of how an OSS foundation provides support and guidance to guide a project to success.
