This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Project2 - Open Source Software 1, If end-users use open source software to perform its intended functions successfully, then the open source software must be functioning properly. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The Open Source Software is functioning properly., OSS developers can join or quit an effort strictly on their own initiative. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) These OSS developers are not coerced into participation and willingly contribute., OSS will not be downloaded by anyone it offends, and people will not write OSS that is discrimitory because they will lose peer respect, and therefore potential users. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS prohibits discrimination against persons or groups and the fact that one person using OSS does not affect its availability to the whole., The Open Source Software is functioning properly. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Open Source Software meets specifications., Open Source Software is quality software. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Open source software is a resource which should be available to the public., Developers and end-users produce books as documentation for Open Source Software. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Open Source Software is documented., The best piece of software for the current environment will survive. supports These OSS developers are not coerced into participation and willingly contribute., These OSS developers are not coerced into participation and willingly contribute. contradicts The developer may not feel the same obligation to do a quality job., If the Open Source Software is functioning properly, then Open Source Software meets specifications. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Open Source Software meets specifications., If OSS is a public good, then open source software is a resource which should be available to the public. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS is a public good., End-users use open source software to perform its intended functions successfully. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The Open Source Software is functioning properly., OSS software is defined as non-excludable and indivisible. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS is a public good., If OSS prohibits discrimination against persons or groups and the fact that one person using OSS does not affect its availability to the whole, then OSS software is defined as non-excludable and indivisible. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS software is defined as non-excludable and indivisible., Most OSS software present the software 'as is' and indemnify themselves against liability. supports The developer may not feel the same obligation to do a quality job., The user is envolved from the beginning. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The user is most important, not profits, stock prices, or release dates., A public good is described as something that is non-excludalbe and indivisible. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS is a public good., If a newcomer to open source development has very little in terms of reputation and project leaders are less open to new ideas and ways of doing stuff, then they must take in new ideas and respond constructively in order to nurture both the idea and the developer of the idea. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) They must take in new ideas and respond constructively in order to nurture both the idea and the developer of the idea., If software is maintained by being continually updated and maintenanced, and if Open Source Software is continually updated as time passes by end-users and developers, then Open Source Software is maintainable. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Open Source Software is maintainable., One person using OSS does not affect its availability to the whole. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS software is defined as non-excludable and indivisible., If these OSS developers are not coerced into participation and willingly contribute, then a newcomer to open source development has very little in terms of reputation and project leaders are less open to new ideas and ways of doing stuff. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) A newcomer to open source development has very little in terms of reputation and project leaders are less open to new ideas and ways of doing stuff.
