You've just had an idea for a great application but don't think anyone else is interested? You've used your weekends and free time to come up with something that actually solves someone else's problem? You'd love to open source your project so others can use it but you don't know where to start. We'll explain the way from an idea to an open source project using a step by step guide - including links, code snippets, and open source tools you can use to open source your own project.

We are using our experience from working at open source companies like Red Hat and Percona as well as our project experience to highlight the steps you can take to get your open source project off the ground. In the Q&A section you can ask specific questions about your project or your idea and we'll give you some tips and tricks that we've used ourselves.
