“Community source describes a model for the purposeful coordinating of work in a community. It is based on many of the principles of open source development efforts, but community source efforts rely more explicitly on defined roles, responsibilities, and funded commitments by community members than some open source development models.”

Open source: Free as in Libre
• "Free software is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of free as in free speech, not as in free beer." —Richard Stallman
![Page 23: Open Source and Commercial Support](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051610/54859902b4af9f9b0d8b4ebe/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Committing resources• Baseline development based on a shared
roadmap• Governance by committing institutions• IP held by independent foundation• Public license
Community source
![Page 24: Open Source and Commercial Support](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051610/54859902b4af9f9b0d8b4ebe/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Led by Martin Dougiamas– Company holds IP– Hierarchical governance– Limited influence on road map– Large community of contributors
open source community

open source product
• Company offering open source version of product– Company holds IP– Non-public governance– Unknown roadmap– Open source version as marketing, or at least not
competitive with commercial version– Small community of contributors
![Page 26: Open Source and Commercial Support](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051610/54859902b4af9f9b0d8b4ebe/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
community source
• Coordinated by Sakai Foundation– Holds IP– Non-profit– Committed resources from members– Coordinating role in development and distribution
of technology and knowledge– Transparant governance/ road map
