bazaar

1. Analogy of software development methodology. Software developed in
|
|
public according to normative FOSS praxis is said more like the
|
|
chaotic and more organic trading style of a bazaar than the
|
|
pristine top-down architecture of a cathedral created by visionary
|
|
engineers. The analogy is made in a 1999 book by Eric Raymond,
|
|
called The Cathedral and the Bazaar. Characteristics of bazaar style
|
|
development include releasing code early and often, treating users
|
|
as co-developers and making extensive use of internet for project
|
|
communications and interaction with code repositories. 2. A version
|
|
control system created by Canonical in 2005 for development of the
|
|
Ubuntu GNU/Linux distro and related tools. |
