Hallo,
ein Uebersichtsartikel ueber ein paar Fallstudien zu FS auf
<http://opensource.mit.edu/papers/ghosh2.pdf>.
Nix Neues, eher eine Zusammenfassung, z.B.:
"A great amount is already known about open source communities and its
participants. They consist largely of men in their 20s and 30s. The vast
majority of them are IT professionals or students residing in the United
States and Europe.
Most participate in order to expand and share their knowledge. The software
development process tends to be controlled by individuals or small teams of
developers. [...]
Project leaders tend to be active on public forums, but also collaborate on
private forums. The public forums attract a steady stream of new
articipants, a stream that is necessary to balance out a relatively high
rate of attrition. Community processes are lightweight, and tend to emerge
in response to changing conditions."
