BANGALORE, INDIA: Are you a software developer or manager who is considering starting an open source project, or has started one and is wondering what to do now? Author Karl Fogel, has done an outstanding job of writing a book that will be helpful to people who just want to participate in an open source project, but have never done so before.

The corporate market is now embracing free, "open source" software like never before, as evidenced by the recent success of the technologies underlying LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP). Each is the result of a publicly collaborative process among numerous developers who volunteer their time and energy to create better software.

The truth is, however, that the overwhelming majority of free software projects fail. To help you beat the odds, O'Reilly has put together "Producing Open Source Software," a guide that recommends tried and true steps to help free software developers work together toward a common goal. Not just for developers who are considering starting their own free software project, this book will also help those who want to participate in the process at any level.
