OpenStack allows easily add a new project into its ecosystem. But for that project itself to be alive and successful, it’s very important to build a community of developers and users around it. We at Mirantis like anyone else know how difficult it is to build communities. We are core contributors to Fuel and some other projects. And from the project that only Mirantis was contributing to Fuel became a 3rd popular OpenStack deployment tool with a pretty large ecosystem of Fuel plugins (over 60 of them on Github). In this presentation, we are going to share our journey, summarize the lessons that we learned and give a list of things that in our opinion is very important to take into account when a small company starts building an open source initiative which is aimed to be a key to success in ones business.
