The Open Source Maturity Model (OMM) is a methodology for assessing Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) and more specifically the FLOSS development process. This methodology is released under the Creative Commons license. OMM may help in building trust in the development process of companies using or producing FLOSS. The aim of the methodology is to enable any enterprise or organization to use FLOSS software in production and, in particular, in their mainstream products and not only in prototypes. OMM objectives are to provide FLOSS communities a basis for developing products efficiently and making their products trustworthy for the potential customers, and also for integrating companies and to provide FLOSS integrators a basis for evaluating the processes used by the FLOSS communities. OMM is interchangeably referred to as model and methodology. It is first a model that contains all elements that have to be assessed, but it is also a set of rules and guidelines describing how to conduct the assessment process.

Basic level
The basic level that can be easily reached by adopting a few necessary practices in the FLOSS development process: PDOC – Product Documentation STD – Use of Established and Widespread Standards QTP – Quality of Test Plan LCS – Licenses ENV – Technical Environment DFCT – Number of Commits and Bug Reports MST – Maintainability and Stability CM – Configuration Management PP1 – Project Planning Part 1 REQM – Requirements Management RDMP1 – Availability and Use of a (product) roadmap
Intermediate level
The intermediate level is the second level in OMM and can be achieved by fulfilling all trustworthy elements from the basic level and required trustworthy elements from the intermediate level. RDMP2 – Availability and Use of a (product) roadmap STK – Relationship between Stakeholders PP2 – Project Planning Part 2 PMC – Project Monitoring and Control TST1 – Test Part 1 DSN1 – Design Part 1 PPQA – Process and Product Quality Assurance
Advanced level
The advanced level is the highest level that FLOSS projects can achieve by fulfilling all trustworthy elements from basic and intermediate levels and required trustworthy elements from the advanced level. PI – Product Integration RSKM – Risk Management TST2 – Test Part 2 DSN2 – Design 2 RASM – Results of third party assessment REP – Reputation CONT – Contribution to FLOSS Product from SW Companies
