6 What is a Software Product*? Documentation Packaging Roadmap Training Etc. Customer Developer Upgrades Pricing Contracts Support Expertise * It's not just code anymore, it's the whole value proposition 6

7 A Quick Business View 7

10 Research & Development Code POCs Use-cases Demonstrations Product & Marketing Documentation Roadmap Upgrades Bug-fixing Training Support Packaging Case studies Collateral Pricing Contracts Early adopters Etc. Open Source Governance Predictability Quality Sustainability Software Market Value Without the code, the rest does not exist,but it's the rest that gives market value to the code 10

11 OSS Governance Fundamentals Free Software Fundamentals Commercial Open Source Governance Fundamentals * OSS = Open Source Software Now let's see what is the Nature of the rest in open source 11

12 0> The freedom to run the software for any purpose 12

13 0> The freedom to run the software for any purpose 1> The freedom to study how the software works and to adapt it to your needs 13

14 0> The freedom to run the software for any purpose 1> The freedom to study how the software works and to adapt it to your needs 2> The freedom to redistribute copies of the software 14

15 0> The freedom to run the software for any purpose 1> The freedom to study how the software works and to adapt it to your needs 2> The freedom to redistribute copies of the software 3> The freedom to improve the software and distribute your improvements to the public 15

16 Free Software Project Free Software PROJECT COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE The four freedoms define the environment of free software projects 16

17 Free Software Project vs Commercial Product Free Software Commercial PROJECT PRODUCT COMMUNITY COMPANY GOVERNANCE MANAGEMENT c 17

18 Commercial Open Source Free Software Commercial PROJECT PRODUCT COMMUNITY COMPANY GOVERNANCE MANAGEMENT c 18

19 Open Source Governance is a Social Process How decisions are made How conflicts are resolved How resources are used What is expected from participants How participants are selected How participants should behave What are the Rules and the Roles What are the key processes How the community is organized 19

20 When governance is needed Size of the community Increasing conflicts Extensive resources Commercial interest Source: Jono Bacon, The Art of Community 20

21 The Essence of OSS Governance Anybody can do an OSS project Communities vs Repositories Governance vs License Why governance Governance styles 21

22 Anybody can create an open source project GitHub: * SourceForge: * OpenHub: * * * * * 22

23 A Repository does not make a Community GitHub: * SourceForge: * OpenHub: * Eclipse: 400 Apache: 250 OW2: 100 OpenStack: 20 * * * * 23

24 A License does not make a Governance License Legal framework Grants people rights to use the code Reflects a business strategy Governance Social framework Defines how people collaborate Reflects an organization strategy 24

25 Governance vs License License Legal framework This is your project Grants people rights to use the code Reflects a business strategy Governance Social framework Defines how people collaborate Reflects an organization strategy 25

26 Governance vs License License Legal framework License = 0 Governance = 0 Grants people rights to use the code Reflects a business strategy Governance Social framework Defines how people collaborate Reflects an organization strategy 26

27 Governance vs License License Legal framework License = 0 Governance = 0 Grants people rights to use the code Reflects a business strategy License = 1 Governance = 0 Governance Social framework Defines how people collaborate Reflects an organization strategy 27

28 Governance vs License License Legal framework License = 0 Governance = 0 Grants people rights to use the code Reflects a business strategy License = 1 Governance = 0 Governance Social framework Defines how people collaborate Reflects an organization strategy License = 1 Governance = 1 Ah! Much better! 28

46 A good OSS governance helps implement legal, technical and community best practices Fosters quality in all aspects of software development Improves the overall perception and market readiness of the projects Improve projects' perceived trustworthiness and predictability Make projects sustainable: worth contributing to, worth investing in Helps projects grow by making them easy-to-contribute-to 46
