Open source is the foundation of modern software development. It is the stepping stone to find, learn, and master code, and it’s how we build amazing things together. But collaborative and accessible open source projects depend on the efforts of dedicated maintainers and contributors to flourish.

In this panel, four experts will share their experiences growing and maintaining successful open source projects.

Moderated by Brandon Keepers (GitHub, far right), with (from left to right):
* Erika Heidi (DigitalOcean)
* Justin Dorfman (MaxCDN)
* Judy Gichoya (OpenMRS)
* Mike McQuaid (GitHub).

How do you begin to build a product that can take any shape, communicate with a user in a number of ways and collect constant streams of data using an array of sensors? You prototype quickly and cheaply to allow for iterative validation. Fortunately for us, rapid prototyping for IoT has never been more accessible. Many tools are open source with vibrant maker community support, but you have to understand what’s available in the your toolbox to know what you can build.

As we scale our continuous delivery processes for a large development organisation, developers get more and more updates every day regarding automated test results, performance regressions, code coverage, etc. Would we design our feedback loops the same way if we put the developers first? Let's optimise the cognitive workflow of our developers; and design our supporting CD tools from this angle.

Delivering the code to from the development environment to staging and production, usually tends to involve a series of manual steps, tweaking, fairy dust, and hoping for the best. Developers all dream for Continuous Delivery, where a good chunk of this work has been automated, and at the push of a button, it all happens.

For the past year, Heroku has been working on addressing this. Guðmundur Bjarni Ólafsson describes a structured workflow for Continuous Delivery, called Heroku Flow.

Guðmundur Bjarni Ólafsson is a Software Engineer on the Developer Experience team at Heroku. For the past year or so, he has been working on Heroku pipelines, GitHub Sync integration and review apps.
