FreeBSD: The Power to Serve
Development Organisation
•Two layers of FreeBSD organisation
•The committers, and everyone else
•Committers have write access to the source tree
•Everyone else submits patches or bug reports using FreeBSD's problem reporting system, and waits for a committer to commit the change
•Individuals who submit many patches (that work) are invited to become committers
•9 committers form the elected "core team", for dispute resolution
