Shared Neurons - the Secret Sauce of Open Source communities?
0 likes378 views
The document is a slide presentation on how open communication and collaboration ("shared neurons") between many contributors is key to the success of open source projects. The presentation argues that open source thrives on constant communication between contributors, with people sharing work early and often, engaging in focused but slow discussions, and allowing for mistakes in the process of collaboratively creating something greater than any single person could achieve alone.
