|
|||
|
|
<a href="../L/Linux.html"><i class="glossterm">Linux</i></a> for three years, the Jargon File's own editor
|
|||
|
|
ESR wrote an analytical paper on hacker culture and development models
|
|||
|
|
titled <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/" target="_top">
|
|||
|
|
The Cathedral and the Bazaar</a>. The main argument of the paper was
|
|||
|
|
that <a href="Brookss-Law.html"><i class="glossterm">Brooks's Law</i></a> is not the whole story; given the
|
|||
|
|
right social machinery, debugging can be efficiently parallelized across
|
|||
|
|
large numbers of programmers. The title metaphor caught on (see also
|
|||
|
|
<a href="../C/cathedral.html"><i class="glossterm">cathedral</i></a>), and the style of development typical in
|
|||
|
|
the Linux community is now often referred to as the bazaar mode. Its
|
|||
|
|
characteristics include releasing code early and often, and actively
|
|||
|
|
seeking the largest possible pool of peer reviewers. After 1998, the
|
|||
|
|
evident success of this way of doing things became one of the strongest
|
|||
|
|
arguments for <a href="../O/open-source.html"><i class="glossterm">open source</i></a>.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="baz.html">Prev</a><EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../B.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"><EFBFBD><a accesskey="n" href="bboard.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">baz<EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"><EFBFBD>bboard</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
