From Dungeons & Dragons to Fortune 500 – Running a Large Commercial Open-Source project
Elise Bentley - a year ago
Get behind the scenes of TinyMCE and share our experience of running a big commercial open-source project. How to grow a business on something that is given away for free and manage the sometimes very hard decisions between open source vs premium and ultimately how to prioritize when everyone is your customer and everything is your use-case. TinyMCE, the open-source rich text editor powering WordPress, Joomla and Umbraco among others, has been around for 20 years and in this talk, Fredrik Danielsson, TinyMCE’s product manager, will share what we learned while growing into a multi-million dollar business employing close to 100 people building an open-source product.
What it is like to manage a completely remote development spread out over 4 continents separated in time and space, but perhaps mostly what it means to design a developer tool that other developers use to build their success on.
