| What an opportune time for Open Source to surge ahead. The increasing
| maturity of open source software has won over many holdouts, and the
| recession has driven many towards open source software to cut costs. Yet,
| software is merely the vanguard of the immense Open Source movement. There
| are countless projects in the fields of music, art, food, electronics, beer,
| automobiles, sanitation, tractors, you name it.

OpEd: The Future of Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| Erik suggests this will drive productivity and shift developers' orientation
| from features to application composition, and programming from the creation
| of features to the creation of the "glue code" that binds together pre-built
| components. I think he's quite right.
|
| In fact, we're seeing this future play out every day as software developers
| face an embarrassment of riches in community-contributed languages,
| frameworks and components.

Open Collaboration within Corporations Using Software Forges
,----[ Quote ]
| Over the past 10 years, open source software has become an important
| cornerstone of the software industry. Commercial users have adopted it in
| standalone applications, and software vendors are embedding it in products.
| Surprisingly then, from a commercial perspective, open source software is
| developed differently from how corporations typically develop software.
| Research into how open source works has been growing steadily [1]. One driver
| of such research is the desire to understand how commercial software
| development could benefit from open source best practices. Do some of these
| practices also work within corporations? If so, what are they, and how can we
| transfer them?
