Bringing a Commercial Product into the Open Source Community
by Daniel Pearson (http://freshmeat.net/~danielpearson/)
Section: Editorials
Sat, Mar 5th 2005 00:00
Recently, I was approached by a company that was planning to release its
core code into the Open Source community. Unfortunately, they didn't have
a lot of experience with the Open Source community, nor did they have an
understanding of what draws developers to work on a specific project. They
were aware that word-of-mouth seemed to be the main method for building
interest in the Open Source world, but they wanted some advice on how to
get the word out in the first place.

System :: Boot :: Init
System :: Networking
System :: Systems Administration
About: /etc/net represents a new approach to Linux network configuration
tasks. Inspired by the limitations of traditional configuration
subsystems, /etc/net provides builtin support for configuration profiles,
interface name management, removable device support, full iproute2 command
set support, interface dependency resolution, and a QoS configuration
framework. /etc/net provides support for the following interface types:
Ethernet, WiFi (WEP), IPv6/IPv6 tunnels, PSK IPSec tunnels, VLAN, PLIP,
Ethernet bonding and bridging, traffic equalizer, Pent@NET, usbnet, and
PPP. Due to its modular design, support for new interface types can be
added without overall design changes.
Changes: 8021q is no longer unconditionally loaded. Other VLAN code
enhancements were made. Another print_message()/print_progress() bugfix
was made. An initial config migration script was added.
