What the session covered

"This is not an open source repo, it's just a code dump on GitHub: what now?" The talk is about everything around the code: the non-functional requirements and meta features that decide whether anyone can reuse your repository. It draws on my experience building SDKs, dev tools, starters, and integration packages.

  • A repository is a product interface: other developers meet your README before they meet your code.
  • README structure: installation, a getting started example, code samples, links to docs, contact, and license.
  • Automation and community files: templates, contributing guides, and checks that keep a project healthy without manual effort.
  • Documentation and best practices: what to write down so contributors and users do not have to ask.

The venue
