  • Free Software Needs Free Tools
    Free Software Needs Free Tools Benjamin Mako Hill [email protected] June 6, 2010 Over the last decade, free software developers have been repeatedly tempted by devel- opment tools that offer the ability to build free software more efficiently or powerfully. The only cost, we are told, is that the tools themselves are nonfree or run as network services with code we cannot see, copy, or run ourselves. In their decisions to use these tools and services – services such as BitKeeper, SourceForge, Google Code and GitHub – free software developers have made “ends-justify-the-means” decisions that trade away the freedom of both their developer communities and their users. These decisions to embrace nonfree and private development tools undermine our credibility in advocating for soft- ware freedom and compromise our freedom, and that of our users, in ways that we should reject. In 2002, Linus Torvalds announced that the kernel Linux would move to the “Bit- Keeper” distributed version control system (DVCS). While the decision generated much alarm and debate, BitKeeper allowed kernel developers to work in a distributed fashion in a way that, at the time, was unsupported by free software tools – some Linux developers decided that benefits were worth the trade-off in developers’ freedom. Three years later the skeptics were vindicated when BitKeeper’s owner, Larry McVoy, revoked several core kernel developers’ gratis licenses to BitKeeper after Andrew Tridgell attempted to write a free replacement for BitKeeper. Kernel developers were forced to write their own free software replacement: the project now known as Git. Of course, free software’s relationships to nonfree development tools is much larger than BitKeeper.

  • This Book Doesn't Tell You How to Write Faster Code, Or How to Write Code with Fewer Memory Leaks, Or Even How to Debug Code at All
    Practical Development Environments By Matthew B. Doar ............................................... Publisher: O'Reilly Pub Date: September 2005 ISBN: 0-596-00796-5 Pages: 328 Table of Contents | Index This book doesn't tell you how to write faster code, or how to write code with fewer memory leaks, or even how to debug code at all. What it does tell you is how to build your product in better ways, how to keep track of the code that you write, and how to track the bugs in your code. Plus some more things you'll wish you had known before starting a project. Practical Development Environments is a guide, a collection of advice about real development environments for small to medium-sized projects and groups. Each of the chapters considers a different kind of tool - tools for tracking versions of files, build tools, testing tools, bug-tracking tools, tools for creating documentation, and tools for creating packaged releases. Each chapter discusses what you should look for in that kind of tool and what to avoid, and also describes some good ideas, bad ideas, and annoying experiences for each area. Specific instances of each type of tool are described in enough detail so that you can decide which ones you want to investigate further. Developers want to write code, not maintain makefiles. Writers want to write content instead of manage templates. IT provides machines, but doesn't have time to maintain all the different tools. Managers want the product to move smoothly from development to release, and are interested in tools to help this happen more often.

  • Introducting Innovations in Open Source Projects
    Introducing Innovations into Open Source Projects Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften (Dr. rer. nat.) am Fachbereich Mathematik und Informatik der Freien Universität Berlin von Sinan Christopher Özbek Berlin August 2010 2 Gutachter: Professor Dr. Lutz Prechelt, Freie Universität Berlin Professor Kevin Crowston, Syracuse University Datum der Disputation: 17.12.2010 4 Abstract This thesis presents a qualitative study using Grounded Theory Methodology on the question of how to change development processes in Open Source projects. The mailing list communication of thirteen medium-sized Open Source projects over the year 2007 was analyzed to answer this question. It resulted in eight main concepts revolving around the introduction of innovation, i.e. new processes, services, and tools, into the projects including topics such as the migration to new systems, the question on where to host services, how radical Open Source projects can change their ways, and how compliance to processes and conventions is enforced. These are complemented with (1) the result of five case studies in which innovation introductions were conducted with Open Source projects, and with (2) a theoretical comparison of the results of this thesis to four theories and scientific perspectives from the organizational and social sciences such as Path Dependence, the Garbage Can model, Social-Network analysis, and Actor-Network theory. The results show that innovation introduction is a multifaceted phenomenon, of which this thesis discusses the most salient conceptual aspects. The thesis concludes with practical advice for innovators and specialized hints for the most popular innovations. 5 6 Acknowledgements I want to thank the following individuals for contributing to the completion of this thesis: • Lutz Prechelt for advising me over these long five years.

  • Increase in Efficiency of Free Software Projects Through Information
    Increase in efficiency of free software projects through information management Robert Schuster Working group Software Engineering Freie Universität Berlin 2005-05-17 Abstract Free and Open Source Software is an enduring undertaking. How- ever this does not mean that this development model has no flaws. This paper will present a problem of the F/OSS development pro- cess that results from insufficient care for information management. I will outline the factors that lead to this problem and propose a light- weight process enhancement to cope with it. This enhancement will 1 introduce a role named “mediator” - a person whose task it is to make it easier for new developers to enter the project and support the knowledge transfer between developers. The role is then imple- mented in the project GNU Classpath and evaluated by it's develop- ers with the help of a survey. The key aspects of mediation are sum- marized and abstracted in form of a short manual which is targetted for use by any F/OSS project.

It is LCG Savannah is organized in projects which are a development of the GNU Savannah package and grouped according to their type as entered at offers a range of services to every hosted project: Bug / registration time. All projects of the same type inherit a support / patch trackers, a simple task planning system, number of common characteristics and default values news threads, and a download area for software with, of course, the possibility to define new types and releases. Features and functionality can be fine-tuned to override the defaults for any given project. on a per project basis and the system displays content LCG Savannah should be seen as a development and grants permissions according to the user's status front-end for every project it hosts. It provides, in a (project member, other Savannah user, or visitor). A fully configurable and integrated way, the main highly configurable notification system is able to functions required by any significant software channel tracker submissions to developers in charge of development project. These include bug and support specific project modules. request tracking, task management, automatic The portal is based on the GNU Savannah package notification of people concerned, access to CVS which is now developed as 'Savane' with the support of repository, download area, news and mailing lists.
