Michlmayr: QA brings together the cathedral and the bazaar (NewsForge)
[Posted July 19, 2006 by ris]
NewsForge talks
with Martin Michlmayr. "In the last two years, Martin Michlmayr
has gone from serving as Debian Project Leader to studying for a doctorate
at the Centre for Technology Management, University of Cambridge. His
dissertation, tentatively titled "Quality Improvement in Volunteer Free
Software Projects: Exploring the Impact of Release Management," is
sponsored by Google, Intel, and other companies with an interest in free
software development. Michlmayr told NewsForge he sees the need for quality
assurance as the price that many projects must pay for their popularity and
growing maturity. However, in order to perceive this need correctly, he
believes, projects need to take a revised look at the familiar dichotomy of
the cathedral and the bazaar."
