2. OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE
3. CONTENTS  Overview  Fashion in software industry  Why OSS  OSS Engineering
4. OVERVIEW  Open source:  That can be modified  Accessible publically  That embrace and celebrate open exchange, collaborative participation, rapid prototyping, transparency and community development (computer software development)
5. FASHION IN S/W INDUSTRY  Closed source software  Cannot be modified by everyone (binary exe)  “Proprietary software”  License: will not do anything to the software
6. FASHION IN S/W INDUSTRY  Open source software  Source code is available  Certified by OSI(Open Source Initiative)  License: promote collaboration and sharing
7. WHY OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE  More control  Become better programmers  Stable and secure  Long-term projects
8. OSS ENGINEERING  Marketing Requirement  Build the tools you need or wish  Design  System-Level Design  Design is implicit  A little bit flakey  Detailed Design  “I know i need a parser, so I‟ll write one”
9. OSS ENGINEERING  Implementation  What programmers love the most  Users run the code if that is functional  Review is informal  Integration  Writing Man-Pages  Writing ReadMe files  Posting to newsgroup/ mailing list
10. OSS ENGINEERING  Field Testing  In the industry, (users/power users)  „peer review‟  Support  Helps to sell/enhanced commercial versions
11. FURTHER CONSIDERATION  http://opensource.com/resources  http://sourceforge.net/directory/development /os:windows/freshness:recently-updated/  http://sourceforge.net/
12. THOUGHT  Open source “beyond software”
