Meilleurs avis pour OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT METHODS
Quite informative. This is content that should be taught in universities. Better yet... Why don't we open-source university?
The course contains comprehensive knowledge about development methods in Open Source Software. I would recommend this course for anyone who is interested in OSS and wants to have a proper idea of it.
A great course on the history of Linux. Generally, courses start with the History of Linux as just an introductory video/week. But this course took a deep dive into the topic.
The course contains interesting insight about Open Source development process. As someone who has never contributed to such a project, I've found the course helpful.
