Students investigate the design, process, and culture of open-source software development, with many specifics and anecdotes from Mozilla.org's browser project. They examine cross-platform development and testing as well as some unique quirks of open source which impact the development process: geographic dispersal, social and team dynamics, and a multitude of licenses (GPL, BSD, etc). Also covered are development tools for working in large-scale systems as well as project management techniques (CVS, Bugzilla, release-management, mailing-lists).
