Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
What started as a legal framework to guarantee the freedom to copy, modify, and share software has grown into something far bigger: a billion-dollar ecosystem powered by collective intelligence and work. Open source has moved beyond code to become a cultural phenomenon that operates through collaboration, remix, and the continuous negotiation between individual agency and shared responsibility.
Yet beneath this success story lies a more complicated reality. Who gets to participate and make decisions? Whose voices shape the standards that guide our technological future? And how do we reconcile the idealistic promise of open collaboration with the persistent inequities that mirror broader societal divisions?
Diversifying Open Source dives into these questions while offering a path forward. This playbook argues that open standards function as more than technical specifications, they can be architectural blueprints for more inclusive digital futures. By examining community dynamics, labor practices, and diversity challenges, this guide demonstrates how thoughtful approaches to open standards can improve projects and create spaces that are accessible, equitable, and sustainable.
Packed with practical blueprints, case studies, and critical insights, this essential guide reveals how open source can move from a largely homogeneous landscape to a genuinely representative ecosystem - building not just better technology, but more just and inclusive communities.
You Will:
- Review how open source is used and its current issues
- Examine standards and how they form the basis for governance and best practices for open source projects
- Understand the value of DEI within the tech environment
- Implement standards for open source projects
This Book Is For:
Developers, community leaders, policy makers, and anyone invested in technology's role in shaping our collective future
