%0 Conference Paper %B OSS2008: Open Source Development, Communities and Quality (IFIP 2.13) %D 2008 %T Panel: Opportunities and Risks for Open Source Software in Industry %A Feller, Joseph %A Lundell, Björn %A Marttiin, Pentti %A Walt Scacchi %A Schellingerhout, Nico %X Open Source Software (OSS) is a multi-faceted phenomenon which has become an issue of strategic importance for many commercial organisations. Stemming from an ideological issue, with emphasis on freedom and community values, we have recently seen a broader interest in the Open Source phenomenon amongst practitioners in many companies. A number of SMEs and large companies are currently exploring the potential of Open Source, and for some it has become core to their business and development activities. %B OSS2008: Open Source Development, Communities and Quality (IFIP 2.13) %S IFIP International Federation for Information Processing %I Springer %V 275/2008 %P 413 - 414 %8 2008/// %G eng %& 40 %R http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-09684-1_40 %> https://flosshub.org/sites/flosshub.org/files/Panel%20Opportunities%20%26%20Risks.pdf %0 Journal Article %J Software Process--Improvement and Practice %D 2006 %T Understanding Free/Open Source Software Development Processes %A Walt Scacchi %A Feller, Joseph %A Fitzgerald, Brian %A Hissam, Scott %A Lakhani, Karim %B Software Process--Improvement and Practice %V 11 %P 95-105 %8 March/April %G eng %0 Conference Paper %B Proceedings of the twenty first international conference on Information systems %D 2000 %T A framework analysis of the open source software development paradigm %A Feller, Joseph %A Fitzgerald, Brian %X Open Source Software (OSS) has become the subject of much commercial interest of late. Certainly, OSS seems to hold much promise in addressing the core issues of the software crisis, namely that of software taking too long to develop, exceeding its budget, and not working very well. Indeed, there have been several examples of significant OSS success stories—the Linux operating system, the Apache web server, the BIND domain name resolution utility, to name but a few. However, little by way of rigorous academic research on OSS has been conducted to date. In this study, a framework was derived from two previous frameworks which have been very influential in the IS field, namely that of Zachman’s IS architecture (ISA) and Checkland’s CATWOE framework from Soft Systems Methodology (SSM). The resulting framework is used to analyze the OSS approach in detail. The potential future of OSS research is also discussed. %B Proceedings of the twenty first international conference on Information systems %S ICIS '00 %I Association for Information Systems %C Atlanta, GA, USA %P 58–69 %U http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=359640.359723 %> https://flosshub.org/sites/flosshub.org/files/p58-feller.pdf
