Two articles worth mentioning and thinking about, culled from the fairly informative N-TEN Connect
- Evaluating a Community - by Seth Gottlieb. A pretty good read on factors to consider when choosing to adopt/integrate an open source project. CiviCRM does use a fair number of other open source projects and we use quite a few of the factors Seth describes when we choose a project. We also hope CiviCRM comes off in a positive light when folks out there are looking for a relationship management system
- Uncovering Design Principles of Open Source Software Collaborations: Implications for Government Agencies by Charles Schweik and Robert English. The first part of the title (which is the focus of the paper) is quite an interesting read.
Hopefully readers of this blog and CiviCRM community folks will find these articles useful and get a better understanding and importance of the open source world :). If there are other papers that we should read, please do comment / send us mail
