1 Issues and Experiences in Modeling Open Source Software Development Processes

Overview This study presents selected analyses and findings from a multi-year study into the development processes, work practices, and community dynamics that arise in open source software development (OSSD) projects. Previous results from this study have identified socio-technical development processes that shape OSSD projects [Scacchi 2001]; the use of software informalisms as both OSSD artifacts and communication media in developing the requirements for OSSD projects [Scacchi 2002a]; investigation of the comparative advantages that arise in OSSD versus traditional software engineering [Scacchi 2002b]; and others [Elliott and Scacchi 2003, Scacchi 2002c].
