The Connected Community Model: Research Findings and Lessons Learned

Conference: OSCON 2019
Speakers: Diane Mueller and Daniel Izquierdo

The interdependency of open source projects such as OpenShift (OKD) with upstream projects (Kubernetes, OpenStack), downstream services, and related initiatives (operator framework) has changed nature of open source community development. As communities converge and release schedules and priorities collide, project leaders need to adjust OS models, rethink interactions with multiple release cycles, and juggle the divergent agendas.

Diane Mueller and Daniel Izquierdo examine joint research findings from Bitergia and share lessons learned at Red Hat on the interrelatedness of Kubernetes, OpenShift and OKD, OpenStack, and CNCF communities developing around distributions. They also detail new approaches to open source community development as well as new tools and practices.

What you'll learn

Learn lessons from practitioners in the industry and the new realities of open source community development
Gain a better understanding of new tools and practices to do effective open source community development in the era of emerging connected communities models

36. Commons Model for Cross-Community Collaboration New Community Model Commons Briefings & Gatherings Code Contributions Mailing Lists SIGs Promote Peer-to-Peer Interactions https://commons.openshift.org/#join
37. • No Company is Working on ‘Just One’ Thing • Upstream Coordination is Essential • Relationships Matter • Domain knowledge • Community Development vs. Community Management • Data Matters (clean, curated data and good tools!) • Anonymity is Dead What’s Up Next? Predictive Analysis (perhaps using IBM Watson ;-) Convergence of Conclusions
