Description
Nowadays open-source culture has already become a part of our lives. Being an open-source project, we understand that open source doesn’t just mean that something is free of charge. Open source means transparency and reliability.
So, it’s not a surprise that the open-source model has reshaped the industry by changing how software is produced and consumed. Many developers and start-ups opt for going open-source. However, the question arises — how to bring my project to as many people as possible?
This talk seeks to examine which difficulties companies face when creating open-source products, how it affects the business model and which ways are there to promote such projects. Based on experience we got by developing ONLYOFFICE, we’ll discover the most important aspects of gaining more attention to open-source software, from making well-structured documentation and providing training to building your own community and even taking speaking opportunities like this one.
