Seven Observations On Software Maintenance and FOSS
,----[ Quote ]
| I prefer the name âeternally regenerative
| software administrationâ over âcontinuous
| upgradingâ. It avoids the philosophical
| problems with the word âcontinuousâ and
| emphasizes the active, âecologicalâ approach
| needed to envision the engineering of
| âregenerativityâ in software. By that I mean
| software maintenance should involve building
| the system so each new version enables
| installation of the next while facilitating
| management of any customizations and
| integration with other software (including
| libraries and other âhelperâ applications).
| Regenerativity is the process of growth and
| change used by Nature itself. Software
| maintenance needs to follow similar
| principles.

The Next Open Source Revolution: The Democratization of BPM
,----[ Quote ]
| I foresee a radical change over the next few
| next years with the increasing maturity of
| open source BPM vendors. As in other domains,
| such as business intelligence, enterprise
| resource planning, or ETL (extract, transform
| and load), open source vendors are the key to
| the democratization of BPM in all types of
| organizations -- if they are able to provide
| intuitive, powerful, and easy-to-use BPM
| solutions that any organization can afford.

Open Source enables customized applications
,----[ Quote ]
| We adopted open source mainly because we
| can build an application suiting our needs.
| Moreover, if we are locked in a proprietary
| set up, we will be forced to do frequent
| updates. Often we have found that most of
| updates do not give the level of business
| benefits that we look for. To put it
| simply, we do not want to be forced to do
| an upgrade just because a new version is
| available.
