I generally find open source decomposes into Raymondism and Perensite, 
I would classify this as the Raymondism open-source-as-a-development-
model one (i.e., the popular one). I don't particularly find the taxonomy
interesting though, so it could be that I've overlooked some important
yet subtle difference :)

NAFAIK. The DTi is massive, though, and spans all sorts of things. We
probably ought to start looking to make links with them though - I would
suggest the EUCDL/training angle as the obvious route in.
