Advantages of Bazaar Model:- 1. Reduced Duplication efforts:  By releasing programs early and granting users the right to modify and redistribute the source code, FOSS developers reuse the work produced by compatriots. Economies of scale are enormous because instead of 5 software developers in 10 companies programming a single software, there is the potential for the combined efforts of 50 developers.
Advantages of Bazaar model 2. Building upon the work of others:  With the availability of existing source code to build on, development times are reduced. Many FOSS projects rely on software built by other projects to supply the much needed functionality. 3. Better quality control:  “Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow” is a famous quote in the FOSS world. It means that with enough people including qualified developers using the software program, and examining the source code, errors are spotted and fixed faster.
Advantages of Bazaar model 4.  Reduced Maintenance Costs:  Maintenance of any software program has the potential to exceed the cost of initial purchase if a single organization has to maintain the software. With the FOSS development model, support can come from any one who uses the software on the internet or locally.
Why the  Bazaar Model? This therefore explains why you will not normally find a single place where Linux is “made”. Often times people like asking; “Which company or who makes linux?” The answer lies is in the development model that is followed in the FOSS world. You can hardly find a single building having all the people who work on Linux. It is a global cooperative effort.
