If you haven't yet read The Cathedral and the Bazaar, by Eric Raymond... please do so asap! It's a brilliant look at open source, collaborative software development practices, and is a must-read for anyone who is involved with software development of any kind.
It is also the foundation for a little booklet I wrote, titled The Fortress and the Firefight, available as a free download at my RoguePress page. AND... (and here's why I' m writing about it today)... it is the subject of an article in the latest issue of Defense Acquisition Review... which I did not write (for a change)...
The article these two guys wrote is titled "The Fortress and the Bazaar" (not nearly as cool a title as mine, imho), and I couldn't be happier! I'm so glad to see Eric Raymond's concepts being advocated in as serious and academically-oriented a journal as AR (not to be confused with Defense AT&L, where I usually publish my stuff). Definitely worth a peek, tho of course Raymond's work is the best of the 3...
