Managing a Meta-Project: A KDE Case Study

in Community, Entrepreneurship, Legal, SC2010, Code repositories, Licenses, Programming
Speaker: 
Aaron Seigo
Event: 
Summercamp2010
Abstract: 

KDE has evolved from one small team nearly 15 years ago to dozens of small to medium sized teams with well over a thousand people working in concert on over 5 million lines of code. This presentation looks at the processes and practices that go into keeping both the larger KDE community vibrant as well as individual teams, such as the Plasma project, moving. From legal (e.g. copyright attribution) concerns to logistics (e.g. release scheduling) to community health (e.g. events, developer sprints, codes of conduct) and of course technical excellence (e.g. peer review and design): how does a F/OSS behemoth remain agile and connected?

If someone asked you which code repository your company/team should use, how would you answer? How do you decide something like this?

It's comfortable to go with what you know already. On one hand, training costs and migration is expensive. On the other hand, you might be missing an opportunity to move to a better tool that saves time, energy, and enables scenarios you cannot do today that make you more competitive. This article is a first draft of writing a useful guide to choosing between open source code repositories.

git vs. svn will hurt clearcase and perforce

Natural selection involves organisms best adapted to their environment passing on their characteristics to subsequent generations and out-thriving other organisms. There is a fierce war going on between open source code repository tools. Who will win? I believe the only certain conclusion is that open source will win at the expense of closed source. Let me explain why.
