I'd also recommend the classic "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" essay by Eric Steven Raymond:

From Wikipedia:

>In 1998, the essay helped the final push for Netscape Communications Corporation to release the source code for Netscape Communicator and start the Mozilla project; it was cited by Frank Hecker and other employees as an outside independent validation of his arguments.

Netscape's public recognition of this influence brought Raymond renown in hacker culture.
