Philosophy for a successful open source project
Choose open source only if you believe in the capability of the system
Technology vision is never short sighted.
Open Source solutions should be evaluated for its strengths and decided based on affordable risks.
Choose if you Believe
Invest in Design and the skills
The design , policy and process documentation should take the maximum amount of time in the project life cycle.
Invest in Design
POC must precede Implementation
Some open source solutions can give you the universe , Other might not have that one show stopper feature you need.
Think of the post production support model before you begin.
Try Before you Decide
