“…GitHub is currently the most representative example of this phenomenon and it has been attracting many software projects. Figueira Filho et al [24], in their paper "A study on the geographical distribution of Brazil's prestigious software developers," used data from GitHub projects to analyze social network data from over 4,000 active users. GitHub integrates a source code hosting service with social networking features.…”

“…In this thematic series, researchers investigated how popular social network sites can be used to support requirement engineering [21]; how software engineering social networks lead to social debt [22]; how interactions are mined from software repositories to understand how companies collaborate and compete [23]; how complex information systems can be analyzed from a sociotechnical perspective [14]; how prestige in a social network correlates to socio-economic data [24]; and how a social networking site can support a professional development community. In the next section, we give a brief overview of each selected paper before we explain the selection process.…”

In the Internet age, the concept of social network is emerging as both a useful means for understanding software development activities and a concept for designing software tools to support these activities. Employing Social Networking is useful in part, because it brings a focus to stakeholders in software development including developers, their managers, their support staff, QA analysts, requirement engineers, etc. Social networks represent how people communicate, coordinate, cooperate, and develop working relationships. The concept is also useful as it reflects the network-centric organization for dealing with highly inter-dependent artifacts-including complex source code, systems and subsystems, requirement and specification documents, etc. However, the knowledge on social network in software engineering is spread across the literature and the term social network is used for multiple purposes, such as social networking sites, social capital, interpersonal connections, and social structures. This thematic series puts together papers that employ the concept of social networks either in studying software development from an empirical approach or use the concept as a central basis for developing software tool support. Readers will find in this issue a centralized resource for research in this area.
