Abstract
People's circumstances change and their level of contribution fluctuates accordingly.
How we manage these changes as open source projects matters.
How do we deal with the loss of expertise?
Are we doing enough to recognise former contributors?
Are we providing options for them to keep in touch with the project as their circumstances change?
Are we making sure they can easily return to the project in the future?
This session will ask some questions of your project and present ideas for managing the transition of contributors.
Hopefully you will leave the session with some possible action items to help your project improve relationships with former contributors.
