Abstract

This chapter contextualizes open source development and deployment in the nonprofit sector and discusses issues of ideology that often accompany it. The chapter separates and defines the ideologies of application development, selection and use, describing the different issues and impacts each creates in the nonprofit context. The purpose of the article is to clearly articulate the unique dynamics of application development and deployment in the nonprofit or social value context and where to apply ideological considerations for best effect.
