I have started an open source project and was wondering how I would best go about inviting people to work on the project. SourceForge is great but didn't fit the needs of the project. Any ideas?
A Twitter handle, GitHub URL, or IRC channel is an easy way to point people to your project. These outlets also give your project's growing community a place to convene. If you don't wish to set up outlets for your project yet, promote your own Twitter or GitHub handle in everything you do.
Yes, it is possible to make an open source project into a closed source project. The copyright holder can change the license of a project at any time, or cease to distribute source code of new releases. New releases can therefore be made closed source.
