    Flexible infrastructure - Structured, defined, and understood internal and external communication plans - Definition of roles and governance Sustained investment in community - Dedicated technical resources to outreach and nurturing of the community (tricky labor category?) Acknowledgment that you – your office, your program, and your contract support – are going to REALLY expose yourselves – process, quality, risks, issues, results 9
  9. SaMoLo – More Of Long-term planning – discuss the exit

    strategy early. And know that it will change. 10
  10. SaMoLo – Less Of Caveat: These did not occur with

    FHA/CONNECT, but in general are behaviors that need to be set aside when you’re running an open source project Fear Rigidity Tolerance of dissention/posturing among collaborating contractor teams – the only focus should be support the mission, on the project faces risk 11
