Open Source

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

This book is intended to be an introduction to the Open source software movement. It is still getting organized. At the moment a basic outline is available below, once there is some content for each section, and it looks like the outline is more or less stable, the various chapters will be moved into proper sections to conform to wikibook standards. Please take a moment to read the introduction to understand the direction this book is intended to take (at least as of this writing)
