Develop Globally, Implement Locally, Maintain Collaboratively -- Lessons from the Community Source Model for Software Development
Jan. 25, 2008
3-4 p.m.
Lindley Hall 102, IU Bloomington
Community Source has been described as "the pub between the cathedral and bazaar" as it is a hybrid organizational model between commercial software development and traditional open source communities. Indiana University has been a leader in developing the community source model of pooling software investments for date-driven, highly distributed application software development and creating communities to sustain the resulting open source software. IU Vice President and Professor Brad Wheeler will discuss his insights from co-leading over $25 million of pooled investment, and the implications of community source for other organizations and software applications.

He still maintains his musical pursuits through playing piano and strumming guitars, which he builds from scratch. "Playing electric guitars at very loud volumes is a great stress release technique," says Musser with a wry smile. "The louder the better."
