+ + Diverse + any individual can contribute + no formal membership required + every project has it's own culture, rules, ... + International + the internet boasted FOSS development + very common to have developers from all continents closely working together + Evolutionary + developers come and go, as their time permits + projects evolve over time, based on individual contributions + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +%page +How to interact with the Free Software Community +People / Groups involved + + Really depends on size of projects + Small projects often a one-man show + Bigger project have groups / subgroups + Common Terms / Definitions + Maintainer + The person who formally maintains a project + Core Team / Steering Committee + A group of skilled developers who make important decisions + Subsystem Maintainer + Somebody who is responsible for a particular sub-project + Developer Community + All developers involved with a project + User Community + Users of the software who often share their experience with others + + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +%page +How to interact with the Free Software Community +Development Process + + "Rough concensus and running code" + Decisions made by technically most skilled people + Reputation based hierarchy + Direct Communication between developers + Not driven by size of a target market + Release early, release often + + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +%page +How to interact with the Free Software Community +Motivations + + gaining reputation (like in the scientific community) + gaining development experience with real-world software + solving problems that the author encounters on his computer + fighting for Free Software as ideology + work in creative environment with skilled people and no managers ;) + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +%page +How to interact with the Free Software Community +FOSS Community likes + + generic solutions + portable code + vendor-independent architecture + clean code (coding style!) + open standards + good technical documentation + raw hardware, no bundle of hardware and software sold as solution + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +%page +How to interact with the Free Software Community +FOSS Community dislikes + + monopolistic structures + e.g. intel-centrism + closed 'industry forums' with rediculous fees + e.g. Infiniband, SD Card Association + standard documents that cost rediculous fees + NDA's, if they prevent development of FOSS + + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +%page +How to interact with the Free Software Community +Weak Points of FOSS + + often way behind schedule (if there is any) + already too late when projects start + started when there already is a real need + often a lack of (good) documentation + programmers write code, not enduser docs... + strong in infrastructure, weak in applications + traditionally developers interested in very technical stuff + + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +%page +How to interact with the Free Software Community +Practical Rules + + 1. Much more communication + It's not a consumer/producer model, but cooperative! + Before you start implementation, talk to project maintainers + It's likely that someone has tried a similar thing before + It's likely that project maintainers have already an idea how to proceed with implementation + Avoid later hazzles when you want your code merged upstream + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +%page +How to interact with the Free Software Community +Practical Rules + + 2. Interfaces + If there is a standard interface, use it + If insufficient: Don't invent new interfaces, try to extend existing ones + If there is an existing interface in a later (e.g. development) release upstream, backport that interface + Don't be afraid to touch API's if they're inefficient + Remember, you have the source and _can_ change them + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +%page +How to interact with the Free Software Community +Practical Rules + + 3. Merge your code upstream + Initially you basically have to create a fork + Development of upsteram project continues sometimes at high speed + If you keep it out of tree for too long time, conflicts arise + Submissions might get rejected in the first round + Cleanups needed, in coordination with upstream project + Code will eventually get merged + No further maintainance needed for synchronization between your contribution and the ongoing upstream development + Don't be surprised if your code won't be accepted if you didn't discuss it with maintainers upfront and they don't like your implementation + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +%page +How to interact with the Free Software Community +Practical Rules + + 4. Write portable code + don't assume you're on 32bit CPU + don't assume you're on little endian + if you use assembly optimized code, put it in a self-contained module + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +%page +How to interact with the Free Software Community +Practical Rules + + 5. Binary-only software will not be accepted + yes, there are corner cases like FCC regulation on softradios + but as a general rule of thumb, the community will not consider object code as a solution to any problem + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +%page +How to interact with the Free Software Community +Practical Rules + + 6. Avoid fancy business models + If you ship the same hardware with two different drivers (half featured and full-featured), any free software will likely make full features available on that hardware. + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +%page +How to interact with the Free Software Community +Practical Rules + + 7.
