Open source is of course about much more than just having the source open. Its also very much about community and collaboration. These things are much harder to plan than hard facts like algorithms. What is worse is that community and collaboration require a lot of effort before they start to bring practical benefits. But community and collaboration can clearly have a tremendous effect on the success of open source projects. The aim of this talk is to discuss what it takes to enable community and collaboration. What are maybe even painful aspects that one needs to be willing to accept. But also what immediate and direct benefits can also be gained.
