An Open Source Story
summary
Vagrant starts as a college project and grows over 2.5 years into a widely used tool for developing with virtual machines. Early metrics stagnate at ~500 downloads per release and IRC presence slides from ~20 to ~15, then an Engine Yard sponsorship funds travel and conference talks. A 1.0 release follows, adoption spreads into training and companies like Puppet Labs, Opscode, Yammer and O’Reilly, and the project turns into a sustainable open source success.
