ApacheCon US 2007: Open Source Community Antipatterns
This document outlines various antipatterns that can harm open source communities. It discusses antipatterns regarding governance, such as having governance that is too large or not clearly documented. It also discusses antipatterns in communications, culture, environment, merit, decision making, and leadership. Some examples given include keeping communications private, not actively passing on culture to newcomers, making the environment unfriendly to underrepresented groups, and ignoring the need for leadership. The document advocates for inclusive, diverse communities with clearly defined and fairly applied governance and decision making processes.
