“…The authors of this paper have also conducted a detailed analysis of various OSS quality evaluation models, focusing on seven research questions. 40 Through this research study, it has been observed that while these models initially aimed to provide an objective assessment of OSS project quality, they have become outdated over time. Modern web-based software hosting platforms, such as GitHub, are incorporating new technological advancements to streamline the OSS development process.…”

Open source software (OSS) follows a software development paradigm whereby self‐motivated volunteers scattered all around the globe contribute to the development in the form of code, documentation, feedback, feature recommendations, bug reporting, and bug resolution. These volunteers, commonly referred to as OSS project community, serve as the foundation of the OSS project, fostering its creation and sustenance and providing long‐term support. The quality and sustainability of the OSS project is reliant upon the development and structure of the self‐governing community. When a business organization plans to acquire an OSS solution, it not only takes into consideration the factors such as reliability, security, and scalability but also attaches significant importance to the likelihood of the OSS project being maintained and supported in the future so that it can rely on it as a stable and secure technology solution. Modern cloud‐based software hosting platforms, such as GitHub, offer a range of options for automatically and freely accessing the complete development history of millions of OSS projects. This easy availability of detailed development history has enabled researchers to analyze and draw quantitative and scientific inferences about the quality of an OSS project which generally involves assessing three aspects, namely, software product, development process, and project community. With focus on project community part, a Framework for Assessment and Ranking of OSS Community is being presented in the current research work, following a detailed examination of the largest source code hosting and project collaboration platform, GitHub. Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution from Multi‐Criteria Decision‐Making toolkit has been utilized for assessing the quality of the project community. The framework has been validated by applying it on nine OSS projects and comparing the results with the outcomes obtained through an existing OSS evaluation methodology. The comparative analysis demonstrated that the proposed framework aligns with the aforementioned evaluation methodology while offering an opportunity for in‐depth analysis on the dynamics of volunteer communities, which is lacking in previous evaluation methods. These insights can prove valuable for both potential adopters and project maintainers, aiding them in making informed strategic decisions.

Package other popular food distributor businesses. To gain advantage, they used newest Point of Sales (POS) for their business. POS allows user mood to do transaction between buyer and cashier, manage stock, etc. Unfortunately after several months, their business closed down, because the newest POS is not designed for their food distributor. ,The purpose of this research is to understand how POS would affect the business and why POS is valuable and important for business. The goal of this research is to find out which POS is suitable for both small and large business. There are four open-source POS to be analyzed, which are Odoo, E-hopper, Loyverse and Aronium. fOr Comparing Open Source software Evaluation Methods (FOCOSEM) is used to compare their features. In conclusion, only one shop. If the business owner wants to open another shop at different location but he/ she wants to keep track another shop, E-hopper or Loyverse is recommended. If the business owner wants to use mobile devices for easy setup, Loyverse is recommended. If the business owner prefers using PC, then E-hopper is recommended. For business owner who is conducting export and import then Odoo is recommended.
