	Open source culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Open source culture (OSC) is a term that derives from open source software and the open source movement.
		Open source software is software with its source code made freely available; end-users have various degrees of rights to modify and redistribute the software, as well as the right to use the software for commercial purposes.
		Free Culture is a term derived from the free software movement, and in contrast to that vision of culture, proponents of OSC maintain that some intellectual property law needs to exist to protect cultural producers.

	BetaNews \| IBM Turns to Open Source Development
		We are really trying to harvest the programming culture and practices that we have honed, developed and optimized over many, many years, along with some of these new techniques that we have learned through our exposure to the open source communities and have tailored to our purposes internally.
		We believe that open source and the standards that it promotes and the collaborative innovation it represents is an important and significant phenomenon and we are executing a strategy to leverage open source code to deliver value to our customers.
		A reliance on open source may be technically wise, but from a profitability standpoint it will probably be a hard sell to investors.

	Open Source
		Well, the short answer is: an open source product is provided in such a way that users of the software can find and fix their own bugs.
		This is the "bazaar" metaphor for open source.
		However, the problem with open source in general is that the people writing it are brilliant and focussed on solving the immediate problem (or developing the immediate cool feature.) So documentation, while always present, is sometimes nearly as opaque as the code itself, and very often it's much simpler just to read the code.

	Homesteading the Noosphere by Eric S. Raymond
		All members agree that open source (that is, software which is freely re-distributable and can readily be evolved and modified to fit changing needs) is a good thing and worthy of significant and collective effort.
		I have summarized the history of the hacker culture elsewhere [5]; the ways in which it shaped present behavior are not mysterious.
		A clear early indicator is the developmentof GIMP, the Photoshop-like image workshop that is open source's first major application with the kind of end-user-friendly GUI interface considered de rigeur in commercial applications for the last decade.

	Blog: Pete Loshin: Open Source Culture Archives
		The C/C++ Source Code Search Engine (csourcesearch.net) is quite something: some guy (I think) who goes by the nom de code "Sembiance" decided it would be a good idea to build a searchable database of open C/C++ source code.
		It's actually pretty useful for anyone planning to use open source code in their enterprise, or for anyone who wants to make sure that their non-open code doesn't actually come from the open source code world.
		All in all, csourcesearch.net provides an intriguing tool for exploring the world of open source C/C++ software for anyone interested in knowing more, whether you're looking to do due diligence on your own code base or just interested in learning more about how to build your own applications.

	On the Links Between Open Source and Culture
		On the surface, culture may seem far removed from all this, although most would agree that cathedrals such as Chartres or Cologne, produced by sharing are also part of our shared culture.
		On reflection, however, culture too is essentially about sharing: the paintings, sculptures, theatre, dance, music are effectively multi-media commentaries on the great religious (Bible, Shanahmah, Mahabharata, Ramayana etc.) and literary (Iliad, Odyssey, Tale of Gengi, Three Kingdoms) texts and as such are related to that which we share together.
		Implicit in all this is that there are profound links between developments in culture and the rise of open source, that both are stimulating a new kind of sharing.

	On Trust and Open Source - Scot Petersen discusses the open source movement
		Open source is a relatively new, updated term for the principles around which early hackers created programs for the first computers.
		Today, what we mean by open source is essentially shared application code, which can be altered and shared by whoever possesses the skills to manipulate it.
		Of course, such an open exchange of information would be unthinkable today, and none of this would work in an era where uptime and security are the No. 1 and 2 priorities of most system administrators.
