The Open Source Software Movement is responsible for creating some of the most valuable software of the 20th and 21st centuries. It gave us successes such as Linux, GCC, Apache Server, Eclipse, Git, Firefox, MySQL, Drupal, Python, WordPress, Hadoop, and Open Stack, just to name a few. All were developed using a loosely coupled, widely distributed, open development model. While economists and sociologists continue to scratch their heads trying to make sense of it all, one thing no one refutes: the Open Development model has been very successful. The question is: Can companies deploy this approach internally to obtain similar successes? Wind River conducted a pilot project to test the hypothesis that we can. We discuss why the Open Development model works internally, pitfalls to avoid, how it fosters innovation and the benefits it offers to both engineers and the company collectively.
