How to Start a Successful Open Source Project

February 18, 2009 at 11:17 pm (Humor)

Step 0: Write just enough code to actually qualify as an open source project. Maybe a little less.

Step 1: Hack together a project website that’s more about SEO than it is about promoting your project. Don’t forget to mention the Killer Ajax Framework which you developed in 2007.

Step 2: Host your project on SourceForge, and ask the SourceForge administrators to artificially inflate your project’s ranking. Because you rock, and they know it!

Step 3: When the SourceForge admins politely tell you to get lost, take matters into your own hands and artificially inflate your project’s ranking yourself by spamming your own forums. Number 1, baby!

Step 4: Take advantage of TheServerSide’s new and improved RubberStampTM editorial process by submitting an eloquent and compelling introduction to your project.

Step 5: Profit, you crazy diamond!
