    At Gioorgi.com, after working with a lot with software for over twenty years,聽 we have envisioned a clear idea about open source.聽This is the first article of a series tagged “opensource”: let’s start!

    Richard Stallman Vision, based on GNU open source idea, is too radical from our point of view.

    Stallman GNU License is based on a “copyleft” idea, which gives聽everyone聽the freedom to look at others’work, without taking credits for it. The license vision is very strict, so consulting is the natural option for an IT business based on GNU software, which is drived by Univestities, because of its basic freedom statement. Closed and paid software is still widely used,聽but open source is the key for the next revolution; let’see why.

    In the previous article we introduced the reader to the bug tracking tools.

    In this article we will analyze Mantis, an open source bug tracking tool It is very important to stress you are going to use much more time to set up an open source bug tracking tool. A fraction of this time is for setting it up, but the vast majority of your time will be spent setting it up, customizing it and recovering information on it.

    At Gioorgi.com, after working with a lot with software for over twenty years,聽 we have envisioned a clear idea about open source. This is the second article of a series tagged “opensource”: the previous one is Open Source for the infrastructure; in such article we started to do some tiny consideration of the destiny of big closed huge framework. Things are getting bigger and bigger, and maintaining big code library is a high cost for software house

    In the 2008, when I look at software I ask only a thing: to be simple.聽Embarrassingly聽simple. The success of Mac stuff (like ipods, macosx and so on) is based vastly on simple design of ready to use, not annoying stuff.

    For this reason, the software is not anymore the focus. Core software should be open source: things like word process are not the future of the business. Things like FaceBook are the future of business.

    What you try to sell is your GUI design experience (see things like FogBugz or Wordpress), your networking idea (like Facebook), your focus on search agents (like Google, because too much information is useless by definition).

    Some times ago I have the lucky to read聽 "Producing Open Source Software":
    [...] a book about the human side of open source development. It describes how successful projects operate, the expectations of users and developers, and the culture of free software. The book is released under an open copyright: it is available in bookstores and from the publisher (O'Reilly Media), or you can browse or download it [...]
    Valuable parts, which we suggest to read:
      • Social Infrastructure
      • Communications
      • Managing Volunteers
      Open source is a value, especially here in Italy, where the small consulting firms have no time/ no hope of developing strong commercial reality.

      Open source so can be a way for a cheap investiment.
