Lump In Groin After Heart Catheterization
Cathedral and the Bazaar
One day I went to see the
documentary "Revolution OS" , which traces the evolution of GNU / Linux and other adventure Software Free and Open Source. In addition to the interventions of Mr. Richard Stallman
(the precursor of
GNU
) and
Linus Torvalds (the creator of the Linux kernel One day I went to see the
documentary "Revolution OS" , which traces the evolution of GNU / Linux and other adventure Software Free and Open Source. In addition to the interventions of Mr. Richard Stallman (the precursor of
GNU
) and
), opinions are appreciated Eric S. Raymond
.
.
Eric Steven Raymond was born the same day as your server (Dec. 4) but in 1957. Famous for its commitment to the hacker culture during the 70's, became a leading figure in the Open Source movement 
, mainly from the release of his essay "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" 
. Although it is also known for liking to science fiction, its support for the right to bear firearms and the invasion of Iraq in 2003. His ideas and style have earned him an avid various disagreements with Bruce Perens, Stallman and some members of the community of free software. But on these controversial issues, I will not mention. In the essay from which I spoke, Raymond recounts his experiences in the development of fetchmail, which is an IMAP client and POP that allows users to automatically download mail accounts remote IMAP servers and OP P and store them in local mailboxes. During this development was the need to choose developing a methodology aimed at the release of code and noted the great progress that this contributed to their work.

The title comes from the comparison made by the conventional development style
proprietary software, where a group of scholars is locked in an ivory tower, make a dogmatic decree that all software should be set and never reveal the secrets that are created in the cathedral. Software is like they say, and everyone should shut up and respect the holy will of developers. 
On the other hand, this bazaar style development, which is the name of the Persian markets. For our purposes, it would be like a style Farmers Fair. Thus, software producers get together and each presents different products, but they complement each other. There is also an opportunity to submit, collaborate on ideas for the show continually improve its products, which are visible around the world. And those who are looking for software, can freely pursue the one that best suits your needs.
In practice, this paper made an impact on businesses and developers. So much so that Raymond's contribution was vital if the team Netscape decided to release the code in your browser. Thanks to this, the Netscape based browsers (like Firefox , for example) have reached a level of quality and popularity of Netscape never dreamed. As test, it is interesting all the experiences described here. They are practical truths that emerged from an excellent idea, as is the Free Software . The collaboration , rather than competition proves to be more effective as an evolutionary approach. The truth, I have much to say about this essay, then follow it best in another post. Good night.
"The only ideal worth having
are those that can apply to everyday life.
and the world. "
