Researching The Open Source Way

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the charting-the-methods dept.

A reader writes: "Eugene Eric Kim, who also writes on the webservices channel on DevChannel.org, has posted a research report on open source communities. The two projects/communities studied were Touchgraph and Squirrelmail, examining how they work together." Looking at it, I think the research report was sponsored by The Omidyar Foundation, who are the EBay founders; and the report is also licensed under the Creative Commons license.

    Let's live in a society where all source is closed, and programmers get paid for their contributions!

    (And then fired, and forced to work on opensource projects to keep their skills up while looking for work.)

    Oh, wait, we're there already.

      I would rather live live in a society where most source is open and programers are paid from governmental research funds and when they are thrown out of a project they will have to work in a corporte environment and code in visual basic untill they get back on track.

    From the office of Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf (aka Baghdad Bob):

    "All infidel coalition software has been seized by the Special Republican Guards! God will roast their stomachs in hell at the hands of Iraqis."
