%0 Journal Article %J IEEE Software %D 2004 %T New tricks: how open source changed the way my team works %A Lussier, S. %X A commercial software team contributed to an open source implementation of the Windows API on X-Windows and Unix. Wine is an open source implementation of the Windows API, a compatibility layer that lets native windows programs run on X-Windows and Unix. With our contribution filling in some gaps, our client planned to include Wine with a slightly modified product. Expecting chaos in the organization and code, the team instead found a structured community with procedures all its own. The version control tool on the Wine team is CVS (concurrent version system), an open source, network-transparent version control system. Patches on Wine are relatively small, which makes them easier to review and less risky to add to the source tree. %B IEEE Software %V 21 %P 68 - 72 %8 01/2004 %U http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=1259222 %N 1 %!
