Digital Signage software open source. Coming from a non-technical background those words can seem pretty intimidating. What exactly does it mean?
Let’s start with open source software. ‘Open Source’ means that the source code (the computer instructions) that run the software, is made publically available. These software packages are then continuously developed and supported by the open source community. To use the software, you would buy a licence allowing you to change, distribute or improve upon it at will. Once you have the licence, you need to download the software, install it onto your servers and manage it yourself.
Managing the software takes time and specialist skills. Not only do you need to potentially re-write the code to make even the smallest alterations to fit your needs, but staff would need to be trained to oversee the platform and be able to troubleshoot if it breaks.
