Open Source - G-String-Legacy/GS_MV GitHub Wiki
Open Source
The Open Source Guide defines Open Source as: "When a project is open source, that means anybody is free to use, study, modify, and distribute your project for any purpose. These permissions are enforced through an open source license."
Open Source, actually, has become a social movement with its own mythology, or rather real life stories.
The above mentioned guide also suggests that any true blooded open source project start with a definition of its goal. So let me, Ralph Bloch, get this out of the way:
For the past seventeen years I have designed, coded, debugged, maintained, upgraded, and supported the G_String series of Generalizability Analysis programs as a retirement project for free. But the moment is rapidly approaching, when I no longer will be around to do so.
My goal, therefore, is to create an infrastructure enabling the members of the user community of GS_M, the most up-to-date version of G_String, to gradually take over the responsibility for, and 'ownership' of the GS_M Open Source Project. The project is hosted on GitHub.
To this end, I am trying to make any information and tools for the future maintenance and support of G_String available in one place as user-friendly as possible.
In keeping with this goal, here is a list of resources of use for people who will manage an Open Source project:
