I-Sourceware yikhowudi yokubamba iseva ebonelele ngogcino lweeprojekthi ezininzi zesoftware yasimahla.
Kutshanje iindaba ziye zaqhekeka I-Sourceware ijoyine i-Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC), ebonelela ngokukhuselwa ngokusemthethweni kweeprojekthi zamahhala, ukunyanzelisa ilayisensi ye-GPL, kwaye iphakamisa iimali zenkxaso.
Kwabo bangayazi iprojekthi ye-Sourceware, kufuneka bayazi ukuba oku yiprojekthi ebalulekileyo kuluntu oluninzi oluvulelekileyo lwesoftware, ekubeni ibonelele iminyaka emininzi, ukuvula iiprojekthi zemithombo, iqonga lokusingathwa kunye neenkonzo ezinxulumene nokugcinwa koluhlu lokuposa, ukusingathwa kogcino lwe-git, ukulandelela ibug (bugzilla), uphononongo lwesiqwenga (patchwork), uvavanyo lokuhlanganiswa (buildbot) kunye ukuhanjiswa kweenguqulelo.
Isakhelo seSourceware isetyenziselwa ukusasaza nokuphuhlisa iiprojekthi ezifana GCC, Glibc, GDB, Binutils, Cygwin, LVM2, elfutils, bzip2, phakathi kwabanye. Ubulungu beSourceware be-SFC kulindeleke ukuba butsale amavolontiya amatsha ukuba asebenze ekusingatheni kwaye anyuse imali yokuphucula nokuphuhlisa iziseko zophuhliso zeSourceware.
Ngokuphathelele iindaba, kufanelekile ukukhankanya oko ukusukela kunyaka ophelileyo iSourceware ifumene izimemo ezivela i-Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) evela kwiLinux Foundation, oku ngenjongo yokuba i-OpenSSF ijolise ekuphuculeni ukhuseleko lwesoftware yomthombo ovulekileyo ngokubonelela ngeeprojekthi ze-Sourceware ngesiseko se-IT sale mihla.
Ngalo lonke eli xesha amanye amalungu oluntu lwe I-Sourceware yoyikwa ngenxa yezizathu ezahlukeneyo zokwamkela uncedo lwe-OpenSSF kwaye ngenxa yezi zizathu zinye, mhlawumbi kungenxa yokuba sifumana ezi ndaba ukuba i-Sourceware ikhethe ukujoyina i-SFC
Kwinqaku elibhalwe yi-SFC malunga neendaba, babelana ngoku kulandelayo:
Ukuba lilungu leprojekthi ye-SFC kuya komeleza imisebenzi yexesha elizayo eqhutywa ngamavolontiya azinikeleyo kunye nokuqhubela phambili uthumo lokusingathwa kwesoftware yasimahla. Oku kuya kukhawulezisa imephu yendlela yobugcisa ye-Sourceware ukuze kuphuculwe kwaye kuphuculwe iziseko ezingundoqo.
Njengomgcini-mali we-Sourceware, iSoftware Freedom Conservancy iya kubonelela ngekhaya lokunyusa ingxowa-mali, uncedo lwezomthetho, kunye nolawulo oluya kuxhamla zonke iiprojekthi eziphantsi kokhathalelo lwe-Sourceware. Sabelana ngomsebenzi: ukuphuhlisa, ukusasaza kunye nokukhusela inkululeko yesoftware. Kwaye nokubonelela ngekhaya elingenankathalo nelinobubele kuluntu lweSoftware yasimahla. Sibona ikamva eliqaqambileyo lisebenza kunye. Nge-TNC njengomxhasi wemali, i-Sourceware iya kuba nakho ukunyusa imali kwaye ibe namavolontiya asekuhlaleni asebenze kunye neekontraki ezihlawulwayo kwaye ingene kwiikontraka zeziseko ezingundoqo ezilawulwayo apho kufanelekileyo.
Kufanelekile ukuba ukhankanye loo nto I-SFC ivumela amalungu ukuba agxile kwinkqubo yophuhliso ngokusebenzisaUya kuthatha indima yokunyusa imali. I-SFC nayo uba ngumnini wee-asethi zeprojekthi kwaye ukhulula abaphuhlisi kubutyala bomntu xa kukho ukumangalelana.
Kubaxhasi, umbutho I-SFC ikuvumela ukuba ufumane ukutsalwa kwerhafu, kuba iwela kudidi lwerhafu ekhethwayo. Ukusebenzisana ne-SFC, i-Sourceware yenze ikomiti elawulayo eyenziwe ngabameli be-7.
Sabelana ngomsebenzi: ukuphuhlisa, ukusasaza kunye nokukhusela inkululeko yesoftware. Kwaye nokubonelela ngekhaya elingenankathalo nelinobubele kuluntu lweSoftware yasimahla. Sibona ikamva eliqaqambileyo lisebenza kunye.
Ngokwesivumelwano, ukuphepha ukungqubana komdla, ikomiti ayinakuba namalungu angaphezu kwamabini anxulumene nenkampani okanye umbutho (ngaphambili, igalelo eliphambili kwinkxaso ye-Sourceware yanikezelwa ngabasebenzi be-Red Hat, ekwabonelela ngezixhobo kule projekthi. ethintele umtsalane wabanye abaxhasi kwaye ibangele iingxabano ngenxa yokuxhomekeka ngokugqithisileyo kwenkonzo kwinkampani enye).
Okokugqibela kuyakhankanywa ukuba I-Sourceware iya kuqhubeka ngaphandle kokuguqulwa (okwangoku) ngomnqophiso wayo wokubonelela ngesiseko sesoftware kwiiprojekthi ezixhasayo. Unxulumano lwe-SFC luya kucaca ukuba
iiprojekthi ezibanjwe kwi-Sourceware, njengoko abalawuli beprojekthi beza kube besengaphakathi
intlawulo yendlela abasebenzisa ngayo iinkonzo ezibonelelwa nguSourceware.
Ukuba ukhona unomdla wokwazi ngakumbi ngayo ungajonga iinkcukacha Kule khonkco ilandelayo.
