Now that Business Success with Open Source is in beta and available for purchase in early release, I have the mental space available to start considering my next steps. The first one of those steps: find my next job.
What I'm looking for:

It's okay to publish code under a free software / open source license without starting a "project". Not every act of sharing code for others to use and/or build on is a "project". Which is something that studies about how many "projects" are "maintained" should keep in mind.
