## Fears, and why you shouldn't be afraid to OSS
|
| 34 |
+
|
| 35 |
+
- Paranoia that code is stolen
|
| 36 |
+
- support from community
|
| 37 |
+
- large numbers of programmers in the world, including users
|
| 38 |
+
|
| 39 |
+
|
| 40 |
+
### Exceptions
|
| 41 |
+
|
| 42 |
+
- Games - better not OS your game, especially if online multiplayer
|
| 43 |
+
- Proprietary algorithms
|
| 44 |
+
|
| 45 |
+
## It's possible to OSS and make money
|
| 46 |
+
|
| 47 |
+
### Working paying OSS software
|
| 48 |
+
|
| 49 |
+
- Lichess: through website
|
| 50 |
+
- Tidepool (full corporate): through the data
|
| 51 |
+
- Elasticsearch: through paid support / consulting
|
| 52 |
+
- SerenityOS: through sponsoring
|
| 53 |
+
- MongoDB: Through managed hosting (but the hosting solution is closed source)
|
| 54 |
+
|
| 55 |
+
### A valid model
|
| 56 |
+
|
| 57 |
+
- Get support from the community
|
| 58 |
+
- Get support from developers
|
| 59 |
+
|
| 60 |
+
## When to OSS?
|
| 61 |
+
|
| 62 |
+
Some examples:
|
| 63 |
+
|
| 64 |
+
- you make a tool which is not your end product (eg bootstrap, react, angular, npm modules) and do not want to maintain it all by yourself
|
| 65 |
+
- tools to interface with your products
|
| 66 |
+
- public recognition (hacktoberfest)
|
| 67 |
+
- Cool way to test a new tech & show off
|
| 68 |
+
|
| 69 |
+
## Risks when OSSing
|
| 70 |
+
|
| 71 |
+
### Need to maintain
|
| 72 |
+
|
| 73 |
+
- Example: underscore vs lodash
|
| 74 |
+
- It's hard to find maintainers (redis) and not fun
|
| 75 |
+
- No challenge - need to find motivation with community, use of new tech, ...
|
| 76 |
+
|
| 77 |
+
### Split in ideology
|
| 78 |
+
|
| 79 |
+
- Node split into io
|
| 80 |
+
- Bitcoin core / Bitcoin cash
|
| 81 |
+
|
| 82 |
