Why and How Should Open Source Projects Adopt Time-Based Releases?
- Authors
Michlmayr, Martin; Fitzgerald, Brian; Stol, Klaas-Jan
- Abstract
Traditional release strategies have problems that can be overcome by time-based release management. Interviews with key members of seven prominent volunteer-based open source projects reveal time-based release's advantages. The authors discuss release planning's importance, the numerous challenges that can result from a lack of such planning, and time-based releases' benefits. They also discuss how to adopt time-based release. An online supplement provides additional information on the projects and interview guide discussed in the article.
