The FLOSSbok Project: Defining a Body of Knowledge About Open Source
summary
Project aims to assemble a body of knowledge about open source modeled on SWEBOK/PMBOK, with an initial outline posted as a FLOSSbok.org WordPress document under Creative Commons. It catalogs licensing, security, supply chain, communities and commercial models, notes there are 1,100–1,400 content management systems to illustrate discovery problems, and documents past work (OSSPal) and limitations of the first draft. Current plan uses GitHub pull requests, an editorial board, paid sponsorship and volunteer maintainers to expand depth.
