Recently, we've covered a number of good, free books and tutorials on open source applications and platforms that are freely downloadable online. Most of the books we covered introduce applications and platforms such as Blender and Ubuntu, but what if you're interested in the ins and outs of starting and running a successful open source project? This post points out that Karl Fogel's free online book provides an exhaustive guide. It's called, Producing Open Source Software: How to Run a Successful Free Software Project. It's a thorough 185-page guide to everything from licensing to maintaining a project.
