Although organizations are not realizing the full potential benefits of open
source due to the way open source projects are currently managed, this does
not mean that there are no benefits from developing in open source as we
discussed in the first installment of this series (see
http://opensource.sys-con.com/read/485127.htm). Once you get past the
“free developer” presumption and carefully look at the larger
picture, it becomes clear that open source, even in its limited participatory
forms today, brings real value. In this installment and the next, I will
briefly summarize the benefits of developing in open source based on the
experience from the Eclipse Data Tools Platform (DTP) project.

Introduction
The Eclipse Data Tools Platform (DTP) project is a new top-level project at
eclipse.org. Originally proposed by Sybase in February, 2005, DTP has
attracted strong community support and is currently managed by a committee
comprised of Sybase, IBM and Actuate. Since DTP is in the early milestone
phase, this is an opportune time to explain the motivation and current plans
of DT... (more)
There’s a great deal of interest in open source software development
these days. While the concept of open source (if not the name itself) is
hardly new – people have been freely sharing source code since the
beginning of the computer industry – the convergence of commercial
interest in open source participation along with the maturation of open
source development proce... (more)
