The FOSS development model
Cathedral and the Bazaar
In 1997, Eric S. Raymond wrote The Cathedral and the Bazaar. Inthis book, Raymond makes the distinction between two kinds ofsoftware development. The first is the conventional closed sourcedevelopment. These kind of development methods are, accordingto Raymond, like the building of a cathedral; central planning,tight organization and one process from start to finish. The secondis the progressive open source development, which is more like a “agreat babbling bazaar of differing agendas and approaches out ofwhich a coherent and stable system could seemingly emerge onlyby a succession of miracles.” The latter analogy points to thediscussion involved in an open source development process.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open source software development

Quotable quote
Brushing your teeth regularly does not automatically make you afilm star, does it? But good dental hygiene along with disciplinedpractice should equip you with a pleasing personality that may(ormay not) lead to stardom.In somewhat a similar way,FOSS allowsanyone to acquire skills and personality traits that lead towardsbecoming a better developer and an improved person-which is along way down the road towards building a good career.:: Taken from Sankarshans article
