Stars, forks and prs: How to Actually scale your Open Source Community
Let's say you recently launched your OSS project, and it felt amazing - stars coming in, users even opening issues. Then reality hits: you don't have enough maintainers to close them. This phase is where most projects get stuck, stall, and quietly die.
I'll cover how to scale a project: turning a "good first issue" into a real pipeline instead of a graveyard; building a core team that can say no without you; and deciding whether to contribute it to a foundation or corporate sponsor or contribute it to the community and let it grow naturally. Lessons from projects that made the jump, and from those that got stuck.
