Open Source - kurz & gut

Open Source - Standortbestimmung

Seit Bestehen des Verlags hat O'Reilly Bücher zu allen wichtigen Open Source-Technologien und -Themen wie beispielsweise Unix, Linux, Sendmail, DNS & Bind bis hin zu Perl veröffentlicht - lange bevor der Begriff Open Source geprägt wurde. Ziel dieses Buches ist es, Interessierten und Sympathisanten der Open Source-Initiative einen Überblick über den Stand der Diskussion zu geben und dabei wichtige Aspekte und die durchaus kontroversen Positionen innerhalb dieser Bewegung zusammenzufassen. Ein einleitender Beitrag von Martin Müller skizziert die Wurzeln der Open Source-Initiative und die Gründe und Motivationen für das Prägen des neuen Begriffs Open Source. Es folgen knappe Beschreibungen von Open Source-Projekten, die beeindruckend die Bandbreite und Bedeutung der freien Software belegen. Darüber hinaus dokumentieren Interviews die Positionen von zentralen Persönlichkeiten wie Linus Torvalds, Eric Raymond oder Brian Behlendorf.
