Sustaining Open Projects with the It Takes a Village Framework
Lesson Overview
This lesson is designed to teach strategies for ensuring the sustainability of open source and community-driven projects. It draws heavily from the "It Takes a Village (ITAV)" framework developed by LYRASIS. Learners will explore core facets of project sustainability, including governance, community engagement, infrastructure planning, and funding strategies.
Audience
This lesson is intended for: - Project leaders, contributors, and community managers in open source and open scholarship initiatives. - Library, archive, museum, and academic staff involved in digital projects. - Anyone interested in building or sustaining open projects in their early, growing, or mature phases.
No coding experience is required.
Prerequisites
Learners should have basic familiarity with open source or community-based projects. Experience participating in collaborative initiatives is helpful but not required.
