Mobiconf 2018: Roy Marmelstein, Spotify
summary
Argues that open source raises code quality via Linus’s law and cites empirical studies, then walks through concrete practices: create a reusable utility (examples: PhoneNumberKit, LocalizedSwift, TVButton), run docs with Jazzy, enforce semantic versioning, pick MIT/Apache/GPL, include an example app and CI, and get an initial code review and legal sign‑off. Launch with polished docs/tests, use early buzz to add contributors (give write access) to avoid maintainer burnout.
