Interviews

Personally, I find it really cool when I get to talk with some open-source contributors whose gems I used before. I is also great to see them using your open source projects, it really makes you feel like a part of the community.

The idea, documentation, promotion, implementation, and support.

Every factor above is very important.

I'm Marc, a web developer and CTO based in Barcelona. I like to build digital things and libraries. I started in the open-source world when I knew Rails. My first experience was to extract some Ruby code into a "gem" in order to re-use it in 2 different Rails apps I was working at that time. Now I'm maintaining more than 10 open-source projects (some of them with some success!).
