A presentation at Berlin Open Source Salon in in Berlin, Germany by Boris Mann
BERLIN OPEN SOURCE SALON #BOSS19 AUGUST 2019
WELCOME! Patrick Mayr Boris Mann
W H AT D O E S O P E N S O U R C E M E A N ? The problem with the term open source is that everyone means something different when they use it. Some people just mean licensing. Some people think of a particular community’s set of practices. Others think that it means some kind of fuzzy democracy and mob rule.
DEFINITION OF OPEN SOURCE
FREE AS IN PUPPIES • The classic explanation of open source is that it is “free as in speech” (a license or ideology) not “free as in beer” (no cost) • I like to say open source is “free as in puppies” — congratulations, you just got given an untrained young animal that needs care and feeding if you expect it to succeed!
FREE AS IN PUPPIES • Please ask before • I like to say open source is “free as in puppies” — congratulations, you just got given an untrained young animal that needs care and feeding if you expect it to succeed!
COMMONS BASED PEER PRODUCTION Lots of people work on it, everybody benefits from it, and then people can build upon it (even in a revenue generating fashion) Ted Leung: Explaining Commons Based Peer Production, er, Open Source (2005)
