It may be foolish to consider Eric Raymond’s recent collection of essays, The Cathedral and the Bazaar,
the most important computer programming thinking to follow the Internet
revolution. But it would be more unfortunate to overlook the
implications and long-term benefits of his fastidious description of
open-source software development considering the growing dependence
businesses and economies have on emerging computer technologies.

The Cathedral and the Bazaar
takes its title from an essay Raymond read at the 1997 Linux Kongress.
The essay documents Raymond’s acquisition, re-creation, and numerous
revisions of an e-mail utility known as fetchmail. Raymond
engagingly narrates the fetchmail development process while elaborating
on the ongoing bazaar development method he uses with the help of
volunteer programmers. The essay smartly spares the reader from the
technical morass that could easily detract from the text’s goal of
demonstrating the efficacy of the open-source, or bazaar, method in
creating robust, usable software.

Once Raymond has established
the components and players necessary for an optimally running
open-source model, he sets out to counter the conventional wisdom of
private, closed-source software development. Like superbly written
code, the author’s arguments systematically anticipate their rebuttals.
For programmers who “worry that the transition to open source will
abolish or devalue their jobs,” Raymond adeptly and factually counters
that “most developer’s salaries don’t depend on software sale value.”
Raymond’s uncanny ability to convince is as unrestrained as his
capacity for extrapolating upon the promise of open-source development.
