Title:Community Source Software: The Beginning of the End, or the End of the Beginning? (ID: ENT006)
Author(s):Richard Spencer (The University of British Columbia), Brad Wheeler (Indiana University), and Laura McCain Patterson (University of Michigan-Ann Arbor)
Origin:Presented at Enterprise Technology Conferences (05/28/2008)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

Community source is designed to coordinate the work of different user IT organizations sharing the same purpose and requirements. An alternative to commercial applications and custom development, it gives users control and shares risk across peer organizations. Although several such public sector communities exist and yield great promises, many struggle with achieving critical mass and a viable business model. This panel will compare and contrast community source with more traditional software sourcing options and explore critical sustainability success factors.
