Growing Open Source Seeds

" summary

Covers concrete patterns for starting and sustaining open source: a Facebook Python SDK breaks and the company disables the issue tracker, a sustainable funding experiment (GitTip) runs transparent governance, and a practical library stack includes OSX GCC Installer plus the HTTP library Requests: 100+ contributors that keeps centralized control while delegating triage to two trusted maintainers. Advises explicit rules: be cordial, credit small contributors, train and empower maintainers to avoid burnout, prefer simplicity and modular plugins over feature bloat.
