The most important resource/article, is "The Cathedral and the
Bazaar", by Eric S. Reymond (ERS):
http://sagan.earthspace.net/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/
ERS is also the maintainer of an Open Source site:
http://sagan.earthspace.net/~esr/open-source.html
There is, of course, the official site:
http://www.opensource.org/
Debian also has one:
http://www.il.debian.org/OpenSource/
And finally, take a look at Sun World:
http://www.sun.com/sunworldonline/swol-03-1998/swol-03-raymond.html?031398
I am going to have my own "Open Source site". I'll report the list
about it, when it will be ready.
