“ Open source is chaotic. With its special magic comes a different reality. ”
Issuing open source an license is not enough. The benefits ascribed arise from opening the development process to a broad community.
Open design extends domain driven, consensual, emergent design beyond the agile team to engage a wider ecosystem.
Community building is non-trivial.
Sustainable communication and cooperation needs space to build and maintain relationships.
Walking the fine balance between technical leadership and openness to crowdsourced design ideas is an art.
