procedure
The process of open-source software development proceeds in the following steps: (1) requirements elicitation via communication with the community (bug reporting, mailing lists, project pages), (2) task selection and solution identification, (3) code development and commitment, (4) peer testing and review, (5) code evolution through continuous integration feedback, (6) partial release and documentation once leadership and community are satisfied, and (7) project freezing for final release with only serious bug or security fixes.
