If you ever thought “I have a great idea for an open-source software project…NOW WHAT???” then this is an episode you won’t want to miss!  In this episode we sit down with Nik Molnar to discuss many of the often-overlooked aspects to doing open-source software (OSS) projects.  HINT: there’s a lot more to it than just “My code is up on GitHub, I’m all done!”

In this conversation, Nik enlightens us about the complexities of the often-overlooked (but still absolutely critical!) aspects of OSS including:

• choosing a license for your project
• considering a CLA (Contributor License Agreement)
• the value of having an automated strategy for taking a first-pass at reviewing pull-requests to ensure that they follow the project’s coding standards
