Plone Conference 2007
ifPeople cofounder Christopher Johnson speaks at the international Plone Conference in Naples, Italy on "social sourcing", a unique model used for organizing an open source software project, GetPaid, that provides commerce functionality for Plone.
Plone Conference 2007, Naples, Italy
ifPeople took a lead roll in filling an important need for the Plone community - making a modern commerce product. The product, called GetPaid, has grown quickly and gained wide support in the community. But the GetPaid project was organized differently than your average free
software project. For one, we raised money for it. Additionally, we had
an integrated design process that involved non-developers from the
beginning. In the talk, Christopher introduces the "social sourcing" model we used (invented)
and why this was an important process for making the best product
possible. The process is also explained by telling the GetPaid story.
