What is Open Source?
1. Software which conforms to the Open Source
Definition and licensed under an OSI-approved
license.
2. Software built using a distributed peer reviewed
model – underpinned by the ethos of meritocracy,
collaboration and transparency.
The only reason to go open source is to build a
community!
