Introduction to Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| Open Source is a community driven approach to building software where the
| consumer has access to the source code. The source code is the recipe for
| building the software. Open Source Software begins with a problem that NEEDS
| a solution. The need can be anything, from a problem the author is trying to
| resolve for themselves, a customer or just trying a different approach to
| traditional solutions. The author will come up with an idea to solve the
| problem, and then implement that idea as software. The author may realize
| that friends and colleagues could benefit from the solution, or that the
| solution needs expertise that they do not have. At this point, the author
| decides to release their solution as an Open Source Project. This three step
| process from Need to Idea to Project, is how Open Source Projects are created
