1 Open Source Community Chris Donley

2 A word about shoes and socks…

3 All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten
Share everything. Play fair. Don't hit people. Put thngs back where you found them. CLEAN UP YOUR OWN MESS. Don't take things that aren't yours. Say you're SORRY when you HURT somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life - learn some and drink some and draw some and paint some and sing and dance and play and work everyday some. Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Stryrofoam cup: The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that. And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned - the biggest word of all - LOOK.”

4 …Extending to Open Source…
The sandbox that’s best is the one with the most kids in it Especially when everyone brings their toys

5 Open Source Requires Trust
Build Trust to Build Success 13 Specific Behaviors Talk Straight Be honest, tell the truth, let people know where you stand Demonstrate Respect Create Transparency Err on the side of disclosure Right Wrongs If you make a mistake, correct it. Don’t cover things up. Show Loyalty Share credit. Acknowledge other people’s contributions. Don’t criticize other people behind their back

6 More Trust Behaviors Deliver Results
Get Better (continuous improvement) Ask for feedback, learn from mistakes Confront Reality Address tough issues directly and early Clarify Expectations Practice Accountability Hold others (and yourself) accountable. Take responsibility for results. Listen first Try to understand others’ points of view before you speak Keep Commitments Extend Trust

7 Open Source Culture Healthy communities foster “GuanXi”
Developers are more like artists than factory workers Provide opportunities to build “MianZi” Use common communication tools such as wiki, IRC, Slack even when people work next to each other Provides transparency Facilitates onboarding

8 Project Approvals Open source is a ‘gift’ economy. People write code because it’s valuable to them. Do we want to share it? In open source, best practices are to default to approving new projects unless they are harmful to the organization If projects are not accepted, submitters may go somewhere else They don’t typically abandon the project Suggested acceptance criteria Does the proposed project add value (or is it at least neutral to the community and adds value to the contributor)? Does it overlap with existing projects?  Is it generally aligned with the architecture / scope of the release? Will it negatively impact other projects’ schedule? Does the team have a reasonable project plan given their resources?

9 Cadence/Synchronization
OPEN-O is date-driven (not scope or quality) Small changes in arrival time can multiply delays if synchronization is poor Cadence can help minimize waiting More frequent opportunities reduce impact of a ‘miss’

10 Batch Size Speed vs. Efficiency Fast Efficient
Open Source goal: Minimum viable product

11 Rapid Feedback Cable Labs
Imagine a lottery where tickets cost $3 for 3 digits. Odds are 1:1000 of obtaining a payout. Now imagine that you could purchase digits individually for $1. You purchase the first digit, and only 10% of the time (when the first digit is correct) do you buy the second. Likewise, only 1% of the time do you buy the third (when the first and second are correct). This reduces the expected cost of the ticket to $1.11 ($1+ $1*10% + $1*1% = $ ), 37% of the cost of buying all three digits at once.

12 Law of Diminishing Returns
Cable Labs Law of Diminishing Returns Product- market fit and well- defined interfaces Commercial target Valu e Open Source target t0 t1 t2 More value is delivered between 0 and t0 than t0 and t1 or t1 and t2. CableLabs should focus on early-stage work up to t0, and let vendors optimize beyond that point. Time
