- The Open Software Service Definition (v1.0)
(source: The Open Knowledge Definition / via OAN, 14/07/08)
An open software service is one:
1. Whose data is open as defined by the open knowledge definition with the exception that where the data is personal in nature the data need only be made available to the user (i.e. the owner of that account).
2. Whose source code is: 2.1. Free/Open Source Software (that is available under a license in the OSI or FSF approved list -- see note 3); 2.2. Made publicly available

- Open Source: The Dark Horse of Software?
(source: Computing Reviews, 15/07/08)
Frequently we have the need to explain open source software (OSS) to people who may not have a high level of familiarity with, and perhaps actually skepticism of, the concept. Unfortunately, all too frequently articles or other informational pieces that could be useful take on a decidedly "rah-rah" tone in support of OSS, which casts serious doubts on the validity and objectivity of the piece. Thankfully, this is not the case with this article. In a well laid out and neutral fashion based on evidence culled from research into open source projects, the author describes the major issues one faces related to evaluation and implementation of open source software and gives some practical tips related to both topics. Written from the perspective of a researcher, this article could be useful as an "intro piece" for your library's administrative team if you are in the midst of evaluating open source software.
