A Second Look at the Cathedral and the Bazaar
by Nikolai Bezroukov

This paper provides an overview of the weaknesses of Eric Raymond's paper "The
Cathedral and the Bazaar" (CatB) as well as the more coherent demonstration of
the fact that the bazaar metaphor is internally contradictive. It is also to a
certain extent a reaction to the publication of Eric Raymond's new book "The
Cathedral and the Bazaar: Musings on Linux and Open Source by an Accidental
Revolutionary" (Sebastopol, Calif.: O'Reilly & Associates, 1999). In this
paper a more objective picture of the status competition in the OSS
environment is provided.

Development, Ethical Trading and Free Software
by Danny Yee

This paper makes the political and ethical case for the adoption of free
software by Community Aid Abroad and other members of Oxfam International. It
should be applicable to development agencies generally, and to other
organisations with similar values.
