Homesteading the Noosphere (abbreviated HtN), an essay written by Eric S. Raymond about the social workings of open source software development, follows his influential piece "The Cathedral and the Bazaar". Raymond delves deeply into the contrast between the stated aims of open source and observed behaviors, and also explores the underlying motivations of people involved in the open source movement. He seems to settle on the idea that striving for a great reputation within the 'tribe' is a key motivational feature.

abstract
  • Homesteading the Noosphere (abbreviated HtN), an essay written by Eric S. Raymond about the social workings of open source software development, follows his influential piece "The Cathedral and the Bazaar". The essay concerns issues of project ownership and transfer, as well as investigating possible anthropological roots of the gift culture in open source as contrasted with the exchange culture of closed source software. Raymond also investigates the nature of the spread of open source into the untamed frontier of ideas he terms the noosphere, postulating that projects that are too far ahead of their time fail because they are too far out in the wilderness, and that successful projects are somewhat related to existing projects. Raymond delves deeply into the contrast between the stated aims of open source and observed behaviors, and also explores the underlying motivations of people involved in the open source movement. He seems to settle on the idea that striving for a great reputation within the 'tribe' is a key motivational feature.
