The corporate market is now embracing free, "open source" software like never before, as evidenced by the recent success of the technologies underlying LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP). Each is the result of a publicly collaborative process among numerous developers who volunteer their time and energy to create better software. The truth is, however, that the overwhelming majority of free software projects fail. To help you beat the odds, O'Reilly has put together Producing Open Source Software, a guide that recommends tried and true steps to help free software developers work together toward a common goal. Not just for developers who are considering starting their own free software project, this book will also help those who want to participate in the process at any level. The book tackles this very complex topic by distilling it down into easily understandable parts. Starting with the basics of project management, it details specific tools used in free software projects, including version control, IRC, bug tracking, and Wikis. Author Karl Fogel, known for his work on CVS and Subversion, offers practical advice on how to set up and use a range of tools in combination with open mailing lists and archives. He also provides several chapters on the essentials of recruiting and motivating developers, as well as how to gain much-needed publicity for your project. While managing a team of enthusiastic developers -- most of whom you've never even met -- can be challenging, it can also be fun. Producing Open Source Software takes this into account, too, as it speaks of the sheer pleasure to be had from working with a motivated team of free software developers.

From the Internet's infrastructure to operating systems like GNU/Linux, the open source movement comprises some of the greatest accomplishments in computing over the past quarter century. Its story embraces technological advances, unprecedented global collaboration, and remarkable tools for facilitating distributed development. The evolution of the Internet enabled an enormous expansion of open development, allowing developers to exchange information and ideas without regard to constraints of space, time, or national boundary. The movement has had widespread impact on education and government, as well as historic cultural and commercial repercussions. Part I discusses key open source applications, platforms, and technologies used in open development. Part II explores social issues ranging from demographics and psychology to legal and economic matters. Part III discusses the Free Software Foundation, open source in the public sector (government and education), and future prospects.

Modern science is ever more driven by computations and simulations. In particular, the state of the art in space and Earth science often arises from complex simulations of climate, space weather, and astronomical phenomena. At the same time, scientific work requires data processing, presentation, and analysis through broadly available proprietary and community software.1 Implicitly or explicitly, software is central to science. Scientific discovery, understanding, validation, and interpretation are all enhanced by access to the source code of the software used by scientists. This report investigates and recommends options for NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) as it considers how to establish a policy regarding open source software to complement its existing policy on open data. In particular, the report reviews existing data and software policies and the lessons learned from the implementation of those policies, summarizes community perspectives, and presents policy options and recommendations for implementing an open source software policy for NASA SMD.

Open Source Software: A Survey from 10,000 Feet provides an overview of the history, development, and applications of open source software (OSS). OSS is software distributed with a license allowing access to its source code, free redistribution, the creation of derived works, and unrestricted use. The history of open source software can be traced back to the 1950s. Open source applications cover most areas of consumer and business software. The organization of open source development projects often differs from proprietary ones in terms of their organizational structure, membership, leadership, contribution policies and quality control. Behind a successful OSS project is its community, ranging from core developers to passive users. The key defining element of open source software is its license, which must satisfy a list of important requirements. There are numerous open source licenses, and they mainly differ in how they treat derived software: some contain provisions that maintain its availability in open source form, while others allow more flexibility. The emergence of open source software is fueling the economy as a whole through its widespread adoption as a cheap alternative to pricey proprietary products and as a driver behind many successful e-business ventures. Open source is also directly affecting specific sectors: the software development industry through competition and new business opportunities; hardware development through lower cost and barriers of entry, consumer-led innovation and policy enforcement difficulties; academia through valuable opportunities for research and student involvement in real-world applications, as well as the availability of software tools and the provision of pioneering new courses. It can lead to new design, production, marketing, and business models, as well as ways to develop large complex software systems in an organic manner. Challenges lie ahead, and problems still need to be overcome, so the potential for future research on OSS is large. More important however is the ability of open source development models to democratize technology and innovation.
