The good people over at Addison-Wesley sent us this book, "
Understanding Open Source Software Development" written by Joseph Feller & Brian Fitzgerald. It is an analysis of the history of the open source, its goals, where it is now and where it is expected to be in the near future. The ultimate goal and target of the book, apart from the knowledge feed about open source in general, seems to be the effort to convince project managers why they should adopt Open Source. Does the book succeed? Read on.
Hmm. Nice review, but the rating and the review seem kinda, mismatched. From the review it seems like it would get a rating of 5 or so, but you gave it a rating of 7. Mabye it's just me, but that seems kinda off...
