I was just drafting an email and wanted to know if there is a standard way of writing out “open source,” like, is it capitalized.
I happen to have the “Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications, Third Edition” on my desk, and I found no entry for anything resembling “open source” in it.
Somehow, I wasn’t surprised.

Wikipedia has an entry and it appears the appropriate treatment is lower case, unless it is part of a project name.

Thanks Hans. Wikipedia is great.
