Her star student, Susan Rogers - Aregger, took over teaching the paper dyeing and collage workshops when Foss was under pressure to finish her first book about oil painting, and Susi is still teaching them to this day.

 FDIC: FIL-114-2004: Risk Management of Free and Open Source Software
Forking is of particular concern in the FOSS development process.A fork occurs when the development community splits over the path of development of a given application.In the worst-case scenario, development of forked FOSS may be halted, or the technical direction may become so altered that it no longer meets the institution’s needs.
The documentation that accompanies FOSS may be less comprehensive than the documentation that accompanies proprietary software because of the diversity of the development community (i.e., supporting organizations, third-party vendors, and individual developers).Institutions should ensure their software acquisition policies delineate minimum documentation standards and establish procedures for supplementing inadequate documentation.
A fork is the redirection of existing FOSS, generally resulting in a new application that may compete with or replace the established FOSS.
