We have recently moved away from proprietary software and made our ESB open source (hosted on GitHub).<p>How do you effectively get community participation in the project? We have put our project on OpenHatch. Are there other open source project directories that where keen participants might be searching?<p>Here is a link to the GitHub page if you want to check it out - critique away! https://github.com/Warewolf-ESB/Warewolf-ESB
One thing I've started doing for Telescope (an open-source HN clone: <a href="http://telesc.pe" rel="nofollow">http://telesc.pe</a>) is holding weekly hangouts where people can come up and talk about what they've been doing with the app.<p>Here's the latest one: <a href="http://www.telesc.pe/blog/telescope-hangout-3/" rel="nofollow">http://www.telesc.pe/blog/telescope-hangout-3/</a><p>I also try to showcase what people are doing with the app as much as I can: <a href="http://www.telesc.pe/showcase" rel="nofollow">http://www.telesc.pe/showcase</a><p>Oh, and I blogged about the whole open-source experience in general here: <a href="http://www.telesc.pe/blog/open-source-lessons-learned/" rel="nofollow">http://www.telesc.pe/blog/open-source-lessons-learned/</a>
