The Cathedral and the Bazaar: Musings on Linux and Open Source by an Accidental Revolutionary (abbreviated CatB) is an essay, and later a book, by Eric S. Raymond on software engineering methods, based on his observations of the Linux kernel development process and his experiences managing an open source project, fetchmail. It examines the struggle between top-down and bottom-up design. The essay was first presented by the author at the Linux Kongress on May 27, 1997 in Würzburg (Germany) and was published as part of the same‑titled book in 1999. The illustration on the cover of the book is a 1913 painting by Liubov Popova titled Composition with Figures and belongs to the collection of the State Tretyakov Gallery. The book was released under the Open Publication License v2.0 in 1999.
The essay titled “Revenge of the Hackers” alone is a great read that lays out how Open Source branded and shifted away from Free Software.
Lots of great context and insights behind the power of the bazaar (open source) vs. the cathedral (closed source), even ~23 years after the revised edition of the book was written.
Come prima recensione non potevo che scegliere questo manifesto pubblicano alla fine degli anni 90 e che mi ha spinto ad entrare nel mondo Linux e del software libero.
Tiems, kam įdomi atvirojo kodo hackerių filosofija, požiūris į programavimą, taip pat - geras būdas suprasti, kas motyvuoja geriausius iš geriausių. Ras kažką sau ir programuotoja ir kadrų skyriaus vadovas.
