Abstract
Most open-source projects never gain traction. A few become movements.
In this talk, Nariman Jelveh, founder of Puter, shares what actually separates the two, based on growing Puter to 40K+ stars, hundreds of contributors, and over 500K installations. He’ll break down how to go from zero to momentum, attract contributors, and design projects that spread. You’ll walk away with concrete strategies for building open-source that people care about, and help grow.
