Living With 1000 Open Source Projects

I will be a developer for another 37 years; and by that time I might have created or maintained 500 to 1000 open source projects. In the last 3 years it is already a become maintenance challenge and in another 37 years I may be begging to retire. That is, unless we can solve the problem today: how to go from 1 to 1000 open source projects and still enjoy yourself. This talk will challenge much of the dogma of open source and will make you rethink what is open source? And how the hell do you live with it once its written?
