The Cathedral and the bazaar
Certainly all of us would love open source. With thousand people efforts to produce an open source, they have successfully did it. What is so amazing that they are only connected through the internet. We can see that there are cooperation and unity that they have used in order for them to be successful.
This chapter is called as cathedral and the bazaar. They have used cathedral to relate with operating systems and other tools because it is said that these two must be carefully crafted by individuals. Before, there are no beta that will be released in order for them to test the application. So developers before are carefully implementing or testing the application. The author used the term bazaar because according to him, he used to run his open source project in a bazaar style. And that was successful. Whenever he has projects, he does not only used what he learned in his job or what he learned in Linux, but what open source can give it to him. With open source, we are given this chance to learn something that we are unable to learn from our work. I personally am able to think because of the open source. You as a developer do not only need to download all the source, but also to understand each codes you have encountered. If you encounter some problems, you will try to solve it by your own skills and what you know as a developer.
