摘要：
Developing open source software offers great potential for sustainable software evolution and for software product distribution, holding particular advantages in financial, psychological, security, and other aspects. However, lots of effort and fortunate circumstances are needed to enforce them. This paper will take a look at open source software development and its success factors using the example of the SUE screen reader project. This project deals with supporting blind and visually impaired users on Linux by providing alternative access to the graphical user interface. The development of SUE is an interesting example of FLOSS development in the eHealth area. We will introduce SUE and provide an overview of our open source development experiences discussing a special factor in the success of open source development: communities.
