Libre software is not only about code writing. Projects usually deliver only source code that has be to compiled and adapted for end-users.
This task is usually done by the "distributors". Well known examples of "distributors" are the Debian project, that obtain libre software from different sources, organize that software in packages, and distribute them as a whole system that can be easily installed by end-users.
Because of the libre software features (among others, free use, even to sell it), some companies use these distributions to make their own products. Suse, Mandriva and Ubuntu are examples of commercial products whose bussines is based on releasing a product adapted for end-users of low technical capabilities.
This course will aproach other issues related to the end-user distribution and adaption, such as quality, and certification.
After this course the student should know how libre sofwtare projects control their quality using tracking systems and testing, and how the projects become end-user products, by means of processes of packaging and releasing as distributions.
