EU-Funded EDOS To Simplify Open Source Development

Posted by timothy on from the worthy-cause dept.

An anonymous reader writes "a consortium of European research institutions and open source software companies have paired up to manage the complexity of large scale, modular projects by establishing a program called EDOS, Environment for the Development and Distribution of Free Software. Planners intend to move away from centralized builds and storage to a distributed process, form a language-agnostic bug testing system and turn to theoretical computer science to safeguard dependencies."

    The EU is the European Union. Switzerland, while being wholly a part of Europe, is not a member state of the European Union.
