Open source teams are burned out, underpaid, underrepresented. These problems have made open source software difficult to maintain.</p> <p>This is the reason Travis started OpenTeams, a marketplace to connect open source communities with organizations. On one side of the marketplace, we connect companies with teams to help fund project development and maintenance. On the other side, we create a way for open source contributors to showcase their work, help them get recognized for their work and hired to work on projects they care about. Put simply, it’s like a Kickstarter for open source projects and a LinkedIn for open source contributors.</p> <p>Please give us feedback to help make open source software sustainable.</p> <p>Thank you!</p> Eunice Wed, 20 Nov 2019 17:19:45 +0000 https://dev.to/eunicechendjou/how-do-you-attract-open-source-developers-to-sign-up-on-a-platform-14oc https://dev.to/eunicechendjou/how-do-you-attract-open-source-developers-to-sign-up-on-a-platform-14oc <p>I started working for a company about 6 months ago, whose goal is to help open source developers showcase their work, get recognized for their contribution and eventually find full-time jobs to work on open source. </p> <p>I'm fairly new to open source but fell in love with the community as I learned more about what it's all about. I've tried different marketing approaches, but nothing seems to be working as expected. </p> <p>I'll love to get some feedback on how to market to open source developers or just programmers in general. </p> <p>The company I work with is <a href="https://openteams.com">https://openteams.com</a></p>
