rbowen writes "Nine years ago, Slashdot asked the readers what makes an Open Source project successful. (http://ask.slashdot.org/story/03/04/21/239212/what-makes-an-open-source-project-successful). The answers were varied, of course. An academic paper summarized the results, and said (albeit with more precision) that motivations for Open Source projects are varied. (http://surface.syr.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1003&context=ischool_other)

Has anything changed? In the era of mobile apps, social media, and Google Ad revenue, have the definitions of Open Source project success changed at all? Have your reasons changed for being involved in Open Source?"
