Reviews

When I was the Cabinet Minister leading the UK's Open First strategy a decade ago, the UK took leadership in Open Source software, and has continued to do this through Government Digital Services. The unprecedented adoption of Open Source software across the globe has generated a necessary focus on its curation and governance to ensure well maintained, secure Open Source in our private and public sectors. The UK leadership of this book has brought the world's leading experts into a much needed text to support the future success of Open Source.

The definitive handbook for anyone studying, working, or simply interested in learning more about Open Source, this volume provides compelling and comprehensive cross-disciplinary analyses, charting the evolution of Open Source from ideological beginnings into the critical public infrastructure the world relies on today. With contributions from the leading thinkers and practitioners in this field, even the most seasoned Open Source professionals will find this volume essential reading and reference material.
