European Project RISCOSS: Managing Risk and Cost in Open Source Software Projects starts.
The 3-year RISCOSS project will deliver risk identification and risk management, mitigation tools and methods for community-based and industry-supported Open Source Software (OSS) development. It will also provide a decision-making management platform to assist OSS adoption decisions into organisations and strategies. Understanding, managing and mitigating OSS adoption risks is crucial in terms of time to market, customer satisfaction and brand image.
