Timestamp:
00:01:48 - How much does a project suffer when key people leave?
00:03:16 - Projects should have the structure in place to survive the movement of key people
00:07:25 - As much as open-source projects come to exist organically, there must be a structure to it.
00:11:52 - Orientation of new contributors who have invested time in the project
00:14:53 - How can projects learn from established projects to build their own structure?
00:18:05 - Owner of the project should look beyond just pushing the code and think of themselves as managers of the project - Linus Torvalds is a great example here who has promoted himself to the role of a manager ;P
00:21:12 - At what point and stage of a project should you start thinking about a structure?
00:23:06 - Conclusion
