Difference between Open Source and Open Governance

in #upvote4upvote6 years ago

Today, most people understand the concept of Open Source. What many people don't get is Open Governance.

Open source software is software that is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified. In other words, anyone has the ability to view the code, use the code, copy the code, change the code, and, depending on the open source license, contribute back changes.

Open governance means that technical decisions for an open source project are made by a group of community-elected developers drawn from a pool of active participants. These decisions include things such as which features to add, how, and when to add them.
