They also say that DNS records are updated every 60s using Consul templates. But when are the DNS servers used for service discovery if external requests always hit the load balancer (HAProxy)?
Building a good community around open-source projects holds obvious advantages as you'd always need contributors to push the project through its future generations.
As far as I can see, Kivy is supported by a group of independent developers. Kivy (as a group) must have spent money in marketing the product, launching developer contests, publishing books on Kivy (I've seen a couple books on Kivy by O'reilly), and other stuff. I'm just curious to know in what other ways, apart from the need to grow the community around your project, does marketing your open-source project help? And is the money put into marketing the project contributed by the creators themselves?
