Code is only a fraction of the software value-chain that delivers market-ready offerings.

Users expect market-ready offerings, i.e. code complemented by: packaging, services, training, maintenance, support, etc.

Users want a full business proposal, not just bare code.

Collaborative projects do not deliver market-ready offerings.

Collaborative R&D projects are expected to deliver POCs demonstrations and components.

Open source developers natural bias is to concentrate on core code functionalities.

Open source governance best practices help build sustainable communities.

Code complementers more likely to contribute to trustworthy OSS projects.

Non-Profit open source organizations provide neutral support and sustainability.

Successful open source projects are supported by IT companies.

Corporate support ensures roadmap consistency and long-term sustainability.

Corporate support develops industry-grade distributions and market-ready offerings.

Corporate support helps grow market outreach, sign-up early adopters and provide use cases for mainstream market.

We call them ''assets”

Based on cloud computing reference architecture...

Improve OSS managementThe charter's 12 key areasGovernance makes the difference

OSS Charter

Mar 9, 2015 31

The charter aims at contributing to the implementation of legal, technical and community management best practices

Improve the overall perception and market readiness of the projects

Make projects easy-to-contribute-to

Improve projects' perceived trustworthiness

Make projects sustainable: worth contributing to, worth investing in

Overall, improve professionalism of EU OSS SMEs and EU-supported open source projects

Mar 9, 2015 32

Governance makes the difference

Repositories and forges are just places to store/develop code

GitHub, BitBucket, SourceForge, BerliOS, etc.

Open source licensing code does not make an OSS project

Hundreds of thousands of OSS aer still waiting for contributors

Communities are built around well respected OSS governance

Transparent, Open, Fair, etc.

Third-party stakeholders expect:

Trustworthiness

Predictability

Mar 9, 2015 33

The OSS charterwill cover 12 broad chapters

Project documentation

Use of and compliance with standards

Project testing process

Licenses, copyright and IP mgt

Tools and development environment

Commits and bug report mgt

Code maintainability and stability

Configuration and version mgt

Project planning

Requirement management

Project roadmap management
