  5. Peer Review In Academia
    • Peers comment on the strengths and weaknesses of
    • research, ultimately recommending or disallowing the
    • work for publication.
    • “ P eer review helps guarantee the quality and enriches
    • the collection available for education and research.”
    • -- Dr. Russ Bailey
  6. Linux Is Peer Reviewed
    • By releasing Linux as “ f ree software” or “ o pen source” , Linus Torvalds opened Linux to peer review.
    • There are currently 3520 subscribers on the “ l inux-kernel” listserv, each participating or observing the development and evolution of the Linux Kernel.
  7. The Cathedral & The Bazaar
    • Eric S. Raymond researched and studied the peer
    • review processes surrounding Linus Torvalds and
    • Linux.
    • “ L inus' Law” states “ G iven enough eyeballs, all
    • bugs are shallow” .
    • More formally: “ G iven a large enough beta-tester and
    • co-developer base, almost every problem will be
    • characterized quickly and the fix obvious to someone.”
  8. The Cathedral & The Bazaar
    • “ . ..the strongest argument the open source community
    • has is that decentralized peer review trumps all the
    • conventional methods for trying to ensure that details
    • don't get slipped.”
    • The Cathedral & The Bazaar is available in its entirety
    • online, and the book is available through the Library's
    • Interlibrary Loan service.
