Show Notes

Have you ever had high expectations about a new software product? Did you think it was going to be spectacular?

The dynamics of open source communities and the Cloud platform can make or break software products.

Today, we’re talking to Andrew Clay Shafer, who was a notable voice during the days of OpenStack.

He describes the importance of understanding the challenges associated with open source projects in order for them to be successful.
