Open Source Secret Sauce - Lugor Sep 2011

The document discusses the "Open Source Secret Sauce" - how open source projects are able to create compelling software through a volunteer model. It explains that open source projects use portals, repositories, issue trackers, mailing lists, and automated builds (PRIMA) to coordinate work. The Apache Software Foundation is provided as a successful example, with its meritocratic process allowing developers to do work and make decisions through consensus-based voting. The opportunity for open source is that it can produce successful software to solve problems like failed commercial projects.
![What about frameworks?
"Hibernate and
Struts topped the
list with more
than 71 % of
[OpenLogic]
customers using
each."
