Open Source Software and Christian Thought
نویسنده
چکیده
This article introduces the distinction between proprietary and open source software, and discusses connections with Christian thought. It argues that this distinction is important for Christians to understand, and covers four main resonance points between Christian thought and open source software: stewardship, building community, helping the underprivileged, and promoting creativity. It also addresses how the approaches differ.

Evaluierung und Aufwandsabschätzung bei der Integration von Open Source Software-Komponenten
In dieser Arbeit wird ein Ansatz zu einem Aufwandsschätzungmodell für die Integration von Open Source Komponenten vorgestellt. Ausgehend von der Entwicklung einer Klassifikation unterschiedlicher Arten dieser Integration werden mögliche Operationalisierungen für die Evaluierung und darauf basierend die Aufwandsschätzung vorgeschlagen.
متن کاملFrom SPLs to Open, Compositional Platforms
In this position paper we reflect on how software development in large organizations such as ours is slowly changing from being top down managed, as is common in SPL organizations, towards something that increasingly resembles what is happening in large open source organizations. Additionally, we highlight what this means in terms of organization and tooling.
متن کاملParticipatory Development Strategies for Open Source Content Management Systems
For many software designers and developers the emergence of open source software (OSS) offers much promise for valuable innovations, particularly in the educational sector. Yet the occasional drawbacks of OSS—such as missing documentation, difficult organizational structures, limited usability, and a development process driven chiefly by technological affordances (Levesque 2004)—severely hinder...
متن کاملComparing practices for reuse in integration-oriented software product lines and large open source software projects
This paper compares organization and practices for software reuse in integrationoriented software product lines and open source software projects. The main observation is that both approaches are successful regarding large variability and reuse, but differ widely in practices and organization. To capture practices in large open source projects, we describe an open compositional model, which ref...
متن کاملDKPro Agreement: An Open-Source Java Library for Measuring Inter-Rater Agreement
In this paper, we introduce a novel Java implementation of multiple inter-rater agreement measures, which we make available as open-source software. Besides assessing the reliability of coding tasks using S, π, κ, α, etc., we particularly support unitizing tasks by measuring αU as the agreement of the boundaries of the identified annotation units. We provide a unified interface and data model f...
