Really nice guide to understand how to drive your OSS project, I run an OSS project and many things written in the article feels right. The positive point is that I see many users/customers that fully understands that if they want the project to last, they will need to contribute financially, it clearly makes your life easier. One point I want to emphasize is to think long-term. If you want to build something great that is solid, it will be hard and it will take years. You are also building trust with your user base and this takes a lot of time too. So you need to ensure that you won't be burned out by your project, both for you and for your users. On the negative side of things, I see several OSS projects that try to oversell (consciously or not//too much marketing) their project to speed up the growth, this makes all the more important the assessment of an OSS project before putting it in production.
