Moin aus #Hamburg!
Eine kleine #Introduction für mein persönliches #neuhier.
Nach fast viereinhalb Jahren bei Mastodon.social werde ich die Vorzüge des #Fediverse auf meiner eigenen kleinen Single-User-Instanz genießen.
Ich habe den Umzug nun eingeleitet und hoffe, dass alle mit rüberkommen.
Wer mich nicht mehr zuordnen kann: ich bin #Produktmanager, #Blogger und technikbegeisterter Hobby-#Fotograf mit einer Vorliebe für #Musik.

Themen bei mir sind #Technik, #Fotografie, #Blogs, #RaspberryPi & #Katzen. Gemischt mit allerlei Privatem, Lokalem und teilweise auch Politischem.
Ich freue mich auf eine weiterhin schöne Zeit im #Fediverse!

        The most difficult things of creating a new project?

        1. The name
        2. The license
        3. A good name

          @mboelen and don't forget the domain-name

            @ronnylam haha, that is part of 3 😄, which has its own list of challenges:

            1. The name needs to be short
            2. Easy to remember
            3. Easy to pronounce (over the world)
            4. If possible give a hint what it does
            5. It should not already exist
            6. The domain name(s) should be available

              @mboelen yup, all of them, and the domain should not be under US control.

                @ronnylam for my latest project I registered .nl, .eu, .org, and .com. Just to prevent hijacking. Now the next big question: which one to use? Open source usually matches nicely with .org, but well, that contradicts with the US control 😄

                  @mboelen that is the thing, look what happened to A/I. Depending on the goal of your OS project, chances are you get an antifa label.

                    @ronnylam Yup. Already had the thought of making the .eu the flagship page and the .org a light "Hey this open source project exists and this is what it does, go use it". Then from the .org refer to the .eu version.

                      4. the name... oh we already had that.
                      5. renaming the project...

                      ... because there was somewhere still:

                      • an outdated project with the same name
                      • any name conflict with domains
                      • any trademark or registered product from any other continents
                      • [...]

                          @mboelen I think the hardest part about starting an open-source project is getting paid and make sure you do not fall under "the project that the whole internet relies on and you maintain this in your free time".

                            ...

                            @mpiscaer then you are overlooking something very important: you are not required to maintain it. As an open source developer you decided to share your code, granting others to do nice things with it. Nowhere does the license say you also maintain it or are required to. That is fully up to you as the author to decide how much time you put into it.

                            Great to get paid for your open source work, but for many that is not the reason to create something. Also, some don't want to get paid for it 😉

                              @mboelen I agree that you’re not obliged to manage it as well, but I do think you feel a moral obligation to carry out the maintenance.

                                ...

                                @mpiscaer that's a feeling 😉 Yes, as a maintainer myself, I also feel the pressure as well that I "have" to maintain it. But the fact remains that this is nowhere written nor required.

                                    @jpmens I made that easy with my projects: I did not have a logo from the start. For Lynis, 19 years later, I'm still in doubt what logo would properly represent the tool 😇
