The "open source" is the new thing in the R&D process.
The term "open source" means the use the open data where everybody has access to the development process. The data is collected from the Internet. In the next step, the developer will modify it to the product. The developer can be a single person, or it can be a group of people.
We might say that the Internet is the great gold mine of information. It offers big data that is not sorted but freely accessible. The developer must only need the right search words for sorting the data that the developer person wants and need to get the needed data for the project.
There is a lot of data on machinery, sciences, and especially programming. So the internet allows getting all data that people need for their programming.
Software development benefits the "open source" of all free access information.
The thing is that programming doesn't need anything more than skills. That means everybody can learn programming languages. And start to make programs and algorithms. That means almost everybody can turn to the developer. And if they are working in the home by using own computers outside their working time.
Nobody even knows that they are developers. And the other thing in business architecture that makes computing unique is that it is like a "necessary but unseen" thing. So for other business architecture, the development of computing has the same position as a stepson. That means the bosses are giving orders and then the development team makes the thing that is needed.
So the thing in computing is that it's against the standard business models.
The standard business model is that everything is controlled from upstairs. The model is that the head of the company is giving orders and resources. And then the henchmen are making the things real. But the thing in computing is that the work that those people are making is mostly virtual. The programmer might make the code by using even Notepad, and then the programmer copy-pastes the code to the programming editor. And then that person must make the normal debugging process and remove errors.
The thing in the R&D process of software is nobody controls that thing. The R&D in the things like artificial intelligence is self-controlled. That means the people who are ruling the business environment cannot do anything for those processes. They might kick those developers out, but they cannot make anything for the developing process itself.
Everybody can buy their PC and make code what they want. And that means the people who are not using the computers owned by some third party. Nobody can affect to processes that are made by those computers. The editors can be found on the internet.
The "open source" software development is one of the most interesting things in the world.
At the beginning of this text, I wrote that "open source" is more than some programming. The real term for "open source" development could be "open engineering".
Many people think that "open source development" is only some kind of Linux development. The fact is that Linux development is only one part of the large sector called "open source" development.
We should describe the "open source development" as the development where is used open literature and open Internet sources. There is lots of data on the internet that is waiting for its finders. But getting access to that data requires that we know the right words for searching those things.
