THE PHILADELPHIA AREA
LINUX USERS GROUP
The May PLUG meeting topic is "Creative Chaos, Why the Linux world
works." PLUG will be the first to hear about the paper Eric Raymond
will be presenting in Barvia at the end of May.
Why is Linux world not flying apart in confusion? Eric's development
of fetchmail has been a deliberate test of some surprising theories
about software engineering.
His analysis of the "cathedral" model of FSF and its imitators versus
the "bazaar" model of the Linux world led to "Linus's Law" which
pertains to "Given enough beta testers, all bugs are shallow".
