Join us at Mongoose

Mongoose is a Mildly Opinionated Networked Group Of Open Source Experts. Initially launched last year in Austin at ApacheCon, I’m now re-launching Mongoose and opening up the forum to a wider community.

The intent of Mongoose is to serve as an informal forum for free and open source software developers who support FOSS in some sort of professional or commerical capacity. As FOSS developers we enjoy the membership of some wonderful communities, but the discussion of business questions is generally off-topic on these mailing lists and channels and that’s understandable. Mongoose was created to serve as a forum for these sorts of questions, a place for developers to share advice, resources and network.

Mongoose is open to developers and contributors from any open source project or community. If you currently do not run an open source business, but are interested in doing so, please join us! All we ask is that the forum be reserved for developers and contributors and that the focus of the group be respected. Due to the nature of the questions and information shared on the mailing list, Mongoose is a private forum for members (no publically available archives). Please include details about your open source project or company when you sign up as this will help us keep the possibility of spammers lower.

I look forward to seeing you on the new mailing list!
