The Open Source Revolution

The successes of the Internet infrastructure and the Linux operating
system have electrified the software industry. The call into question many
of our traditional development practices and the business models that
surround them. Eric Raymond, author of the well known paper The Cathedral
and The Bazaar, will describe in this talk the open-source development
model, its practices, sketch the social dynamics of the surrounding
culture and discuss the new business models that are evolving around it.

Behind the scenes of OSS development

In this 60 minute long talk the author presents insights into the Open
Source projects Apache, mod_ssl, OpenSSL, WML, GNU Pth, and others in
which he is personally involved on a daily basis as a developer. The
projects are introduced from a developers point of view, that is, their
development environment and the way of cooperation and communication
between developers are presented and compared. Additionally problems are
described which occur in contrast to the usual software engineering
projects in an industry environment. As a result the audience gets an
impression how totally different Open Source projects can be and how
problems were actually solved in practice.
