Collaboration and Notqmail with Amitai Schleier
• 30 minOn this episode of Programming Leadership, Marcus and his guest, Amitai Schleier, discuss a new project Amitai is working on regarding reviving an old, but useful, open-source program called qmail. Strategy and collaboration on this project as well as how to manage a project of this nature are discussed. Show Notes The ‘old’ project is called notqmail. @1:10 Last stable release was in 1998 then it was abandoned. @2:45 Elders decided to make some changes in 2007 and called it notqmail. @3:49 Amitai decided to revive this old C code. @7:16 He wanted to join together the other people still running with qmail or netqmail and collaborate to make the best modern version possible. @10:24 The best advice was to take everyone's add-ons and then his own and let the users decide which to implement to avoid egos. @14:04 Collaboration depends on the properties of the code being worked on. @16:51 Amitai put together individual persuasive invitations to get people to join his team. @24:19 Links: Notqmail.org Schmonz.com Latentagility.com Programmingleadership.com
