I would say that an OSS "product" doesn't end whereas an OSS "project" does. I think it's important, and even more important if it's not your daily job, to set a goal, work hard, and celebrate when you accomplish it.
My goal is making Puppeteer Sharp 1.0 which will be a port (as close as possible) of Puppeteer 1.0. That's my goal, I have a roadmap and I'll have a beer when I finish it. Then we'll have 1.1 or 2.0. But again, I think it's important to have a clear goal.
Finish? We are coders, we never finish :p

Nice post, thanks for sharing ! But can we consider an OSS project ever finishes ?
