FOSS still ships, why wouldn't your team ?
- AstralStorm 10y agoOne in how many projects ships? And of those, how many are actually useful and useable? Scratching the itch goes only so far.
- marcosdumay 10y agoEasy there or we might discover that FOSS numbers are better than enterprise ones. There's a very low bar to pass, and FOSS is going back into the UNIX's small software philosophy[1]. Scratching an itch may likely go far enough. [1] Yes, sometimes too small. Maybe we need new kinds of consolidation projects.
- nvdk 10y agoMost successful FOSS projects are backed by companies who have employees work on them. I would love to see some statistics on pure "hobby FOSS" vs "commercial FOSS" and their deliverables. Based on my own experience I would say most hobby FOSS projects ship a lot less frequently than the commercial FOSS projects.
