Open Source Mapping Assignment
Forming: OSC started from hackers.
After being denied access, Richard
Stallman decided to hack the system
Interaction: The point where ideas were
to decide on OSC's direction. The free software foundation was created by hackers to with intention
of showing the power of new technologies.
Create Interdependence: In the end, the tools
became the most communicative effort than any other
and whose success was based on the messages and information spread around about it.
Goals, binding factors: The main goal of the hackers was to ensure that the world has access to a free software.
Dynamic Aspects: With the evolution of the software a large number of people were drawn to access its services hence thegrowing popularity of the software.
Storming: Hacker's ideologies gained a top space in the free software development for user's free and easier access.
Interaction: In order to get down to the development of a free software, the hackers came out and tried different ideas choosing the best that suited their plan.
Create Interdependence: Novel groups emerged to support the ideas of the incumbent hackers and support the new software.
Structure Roles:The new bigger group of hackers broke into individuals with specific roles in specific groups with specific goals and work to accomplished towards the development of the free software.
Dynamic Aspects: Due to the stiff competition in the software developments, the hackers ensured that they worked harder to achieve the competitive advantage.
Norming: A group of coders and hackers formed
the basics then new ones started to build up
Interaction: Accessibility became necessary which made new entrants to create new items in the old software.
Create Interdependence: The need to create a bigger and better free software brought together numerous groups of people to combine effort and work.
Goals:The groups wanted to come up in a combined effort with better and perfect software that could be updated over time to make it meet new needs of the users.
Unified Systems: The need to store data and information in one place became necessary. Therefore databases were brought together to make access and modification easier.
Performing: The software underwent updates to make it more reliable and perfect in regard to performance.
Interaction: Accuracy and reliability becomes more critical. Groups focus on these aspects after formations to perfect the system.
Create interdependence: For the system to be more useful groups decided to make them sophisticated. they gathered new information and data and fed into the system.
Goals and binding factors: The need to ensure that people gained from the free software became imminent. The information and data from the software and the system was made free to other people to utilize.
Dynamic Aspect: Evolution becomes an inevitable aspects; Individuals and aspects of the systems started changing. new information emerged and circulated into and out of the system.
Adjourning: Change and growth becomes inevitable.the OSC continued to change and experienced growth making it more stronger over time.
Interaction: The circle became bigger over time. new individuals joined the groups with the generation of ideas increasing every time. New ideas are brought in and processed and older inefficient ones are replaced.
Goals: The need to grow the OSC further became a fundamental issue. The goal became to add to it to continue its growth.
Unified system: Updating the system became inevitable. The older work began to be reviewed and replaced while others are fixed to make them useful ad current.
Dynamci aspects: The initial pattern of producing relable information continues. The OSC became more sophisticated as it increases its service delivery with a regular and reliable pattern.
