Re: [open-regulatory-compliance] White paper on types of open source projects
|
This is good, I have been thinking about how to explain this in Malta.
Cheers,
Daniel
Hi folks,
The idea of creating a white paper to describe the different types of open source projects was floated on Slack and discussed in our SIG calls.
Here's the proposed abstract for it:
The open source ecosystem is a rich ecosystem composed of very different types of projects and of communities, organizations, and maintainers supporting them. This diversity of project and community types isn't well documented and is rarely considered by policymakers. As a result, the whole open source ecosystem is often lumped together as a whole, or separated into arbitrary groups that don't match reality. The purpose of this white paper is threefold:- Identify important traits of open source projects that help differentiate and categorize projects into meaningful groups.
- Define a set of categories based on those traits.
- Provide examples of open source projects for each category and demonstrate where they fit and why.
Please review, comment, and approve the
related pull request and let me know if you want to be involved in authoring this white paper.
Thanks,
--tobie
