Tržnica i katedrala

Uglavnom još sve nekako mislim o open source pokretu i sve mi se nekako čini da sam nešto zaboravila. Još ćemo imati prilike pričati o nekim open source rješenjima tijekom predavanja ali ukoliko vas zanima ideja i jedna prilično zgodna analogija evo groundbraking eseja Eric Steven Raymonda: Katedrala i tržnica (slobodan prijevod ali vjerujem da ćete se složiti) u originalu „The Cathedral and the Bazaar“. U duhu dijeljenja i spominjana open sourca, čitav tekst se naravno može pronaći online.
Kako sam autor kaže u sažetku:

I anatomize a successful open-source project, fetchmail, that was run as a deliberate test of the surprising theories about software engineering suggested by the history of Linux. I discuss these theories in terms of two fundamentally different development styles, the ``cathedral'' model of most of the commercial world versus the ``bazaar'' model of the Linux world. I show that these models derive from opposing assumptions about the nature of the software-debugging task. I then make a sustained argument from the Linux experience for the proposition that ``Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow'', suggest productive analogies with other self-correcting systems of selfish agents, and conclude with some exploration of the implications of this insight for the future of software.

I naravno, nije za ocjenu, za vas je….
