Such a quality measurement can be used by organizations intending to deploy an Open Source solution to pick one of the available projects for use. We offer a case description of how the Software Quality Observatory will be applied to the KDE project to document and evaluate its quality practices for outsiders. %B OSS2006: Open Source Systems (IFIP 2.13) %S IFIP International Federation for Information Processing %I Springer %P 57 - 62 %G eng %R http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/0-387-34226-5_6 %> https://flosshub.org/sites/flosshub.org/files/Call%20for%20Quality.pdf
