Exploring Strengths And Limits On Open Source Software Engineering Processes: A Research Agenda, Kevin Crowston, Barbara Scozzi
School of Information Studies - Faculty Scholarship
Many researchers have investigated the nature and characteristics of open source software (OSS) projects and their developer communities. In this position paper, after examining some success factors, we discuss potential limits on the replicability and portability of OSS engineering processes. Based on this analysis, we propose a research agenda to better understand the current nature of the processes and thus the strengths and the limitations.
