Accidental world domination for fun

cURL is a ubiquitous Internet transfer engine. An Open Source client-side library for doing internet transfers specified as URLs. Daniel has taken the curl project to run in some 20 billion installations. He talks about what it takes to succeed with Open Source: patience, time, ups and downs, cooperation, fighting your impostor syndrome - all while having fun. There's no genius or magic trick behind successful open source. You can do it. The talk will of course be spiced up with anecdotes, experiences and stories from Daniel's almost thirty years of leading the curl project.
