The Open Source Community (OSC) has undergone significant changes and growth over time, becoming more robust and sophisticated in its service delivery. Initially, it started with a group of hackers, including Richard Stallman, who sought to create accessible, free software.
Adjourning: Change and growth becomes inevitable.the OSC continued to change and experienced growth making it more stronger over time.
Dynamci aspects: The initial pattern of producing relable information continues. The OSC became more sophisticated as it increases its service delivery with a regular and reliable pattern.
Unified system: Updating the system became inevitable. The older work began to be reviewed and replaced while others are fixed to make them useful ad current.
Goals: The need to grow the OSC further became a fundamental issue. The goal became to add to it to continue its growth.
Interaction: The circle became bigger over time. new individuals joined the groups with the generation of ideas increasing every time. New ideas are brought in and processed and older inefficient ones are replaced.
Performing: The software underwent updates to make it more reliable and perfect in regard to performance.
Dynamic Aspect: Evolution becomes an inevitable aspects; Individuals and aspects of the systems started changing. new information emerged and circulated into and out of the system.
Goals and binding factors: The need to ensure that people gained from the free software became imminent. The information and data from the software and the system was made free to other people to utilize.
Create interdependence: For the system to be more useful groups decided to make them sophisticated. they gathered new information and data and fed into the system.
Interaction: Accuracy and reliability becomes more critical. Groups focus on these aspects after formations to perfect the system.
Norming: A group of coders and hackers formed
the basics then new ones started to build up
Unified Systems: The need to store data and information in one place became necessary. Therefore databases were brought together to make access and modification easier.
Goals:The groups wanted to come up in a combined effort with better and perfect software that could be updated over time to make it meet new needs of the users.
Create Interdependence: The need to create a bigger and better free software brought together numerous groups of people to combine effort and work.
Interaction: Accessibility became necessary which made new entrants to create new items in the old software.
Storming: Hacker's ideologies gained a top space in the free software development for user's free and easier access.
Dynamic Aspects: Due to the stiff competition in the software developments, the hackers ensured that they worked harder to achieve the competitive advantage.
Structure Roles:The new bigger group of hackers broke into individuals with specific roles in specific groups with specific goals and work to accomplished towards the development of the free software.
Create Interdependence: Novel groups emerged to support the ideas of the incumbent hackers and support the new software.
Interaction: In order to get down to the development of a free software, the hackers came out and tried different ideas choosing the best that suited their plan.
Forming: OSC started from hackers.
After being denied access, Richard
Stallman decided to hack the system
Dynamic Aspects: With the evolution of the software a large number of people were drawn to access its services hence thegrowing popularity of the software.
Interaction: The point where ideas were
to decide on OSC's direction. The free software foundation was created by hackers to with intention
of showing the power of new technologies.
Goals, binding factors: The main goal of the hackers was to ensure that the world has access to a free software.
Create Interdependence: In the end, the tools
became the most communicative effort than any other
and whose success was based on the messages and information spread around about it.
