Open source software development is a community-driven methodology to develop products, from the design and development stages to distribution. Developers across differents part of the world are passionate about their collaboration, and several successful projects including Firefox, Moodle, and Drupal are widely used today. Moreover, many companies are using open source software as the foundation to build their business models.
In the last year I have the pleasure to write this book with some friends and IBM staff. As you may know I openly defend Open Source methodologies, especially in the development of software. This have been a great experience, and I’m glad to see this book available to everybody.
