[TOS] Guidelines on launching an open source project?

[Benjamin Kerensa]

Hello,

I don't think there is a de facto how-to on open sourcing code. But ideally
you will want to:

1. Select a Open Source license to release under.

2. Select hosting for the code (github or launch pad perhaps?)

3. Release the code
