Timing question.

When do you open source? Once you have team and funding that can build a business around the product or when you are still in single founder stage?

With team and funding, I believe a given open source core for a COSS company should be released and built in the open as soon as possible.

If you are a single founder, I also believe that you should build the core technology / software that serves as the basis of your future product/platform as an open source project.. also, from basically day 0.
