N2 - The Open Source Software (OSS) concept abounds with paradoxical issues which is one of the primary reasons why it is so interesting: For example, the basic premise that software source code-the 'crown jewels' for many proprietary software companies-should be provided freely to anyone who wishes to see it or modify it. Also, the tension between collectivism and individualism in the overall movement, the balance between modesty and supreme ego on the part of 'code god' project leaders, the balance between anarchy and control at the project level, the manner in which organisations make money from free software. These are all extremely interesting issues which will be the focus of this panel.
