During 2018 I've been a contractor for the Italian Digital Transformation Team working on docs.italia.it (Docs Italia), a platform to collect and share the Public Administration documentation. Docs Italia is an Open Source platform based on the Read The Docs code. Working in the open posed its own set of issues:
- does contributing upstream deliver value to our project?
- working productively with an Open Source community
- managing an Open Source project fork
In this talk I'll share what we did and how it did go.
