What's 🔥 in Enterprise IT/VC #244Reminder of what matters in the early days of an OSS project
For investors and founders 🤔 about what matters in the early days of an Open Source Project, you must watch the video from Brendan Burns, co-founder of Kubernetes on how he helped build the community and scale it. In summary, when optimizing early metrics:
Why? Because… Super fast engagement and responsive matters, in your IRC, Slack, chat, issues…instant gratification on engagement so they don’t wander off…lots of other choices - you have 2 hours before they go to another project…Really good docs, responsiveness is Issues Queues, retain the people you attract. Also Look Alive - Great hack - early days in IRC channel, started piping all of continuous integration results in IRC channel so there was something there -create activity, look alive - eventually over time turned it off as organic activity in channel from people took off. Momentum and velocity matters. Reminds me of a founder we backed who was able to not only be super responsive in the 2 hour window but also turn some of the devs filing issues to contributors - that is voodoo magic! And later on Brendan shares what it’s like when you go from early to 🚀 - no longer need to attract users but now know who they are. How to sustain the 🏒.
These are many of the characteristics we found in the Testcontainers.org OSS project and why we were 🔥 up to partner with Sergei Egorov and Richard North, who started a company, Atomic Jar, to support the project they helped create and maintain. As always, 🙏🏼 for reading and please share with your friends and colleagues. Bonus: Scaling Startups
