“…In this regard, they have adopted practices of traditional software companies [Dueñas et al (2007)]. "The haphazard principle of individual developers perceiving 'an itch worth scratching' is superseded by corporate firms considering how best to gain competitive advantage from OS" [Fitzgerald (2006, p. 591)].…”

Open source (OS) has raised significant attention in industrial practice and in scholarly research as a new and successful mode of product development. This paper is among the first to study open source development processes outside their original context, the software industry. In particular, we investigate the development of tangible products in so-called open design projects. We study how open design projects address the challenges usually put forward in the literature as barriers to the open development of tangible products. The analysis rests on the comparative qualitative investigation of four cases from different industries. We find that, subject to certain contingencies, open design processes can be organized to resemble OSS development processes to a considerable degree. Some practices are established specifically to uphold OS principles in the open design context, while others starkly differ from those found in OSS development. Our discussion focusses on different aspects of modularity as well as the availability of lowcost tools.

The paper is a meta-analysis of the research field of software ecosystems, by method of surveying 26 authors in the field. It presents a relevant list of literature and six themes in which challenges for software ecosystems can be grouped: Architecture and Design, Governance, Dynamics and Evolution, Data Analytics, Domain-Specific Ecosystems Solutions, and Ecosystems Analysis. As such, it provides a roadmap for future research in the field. Categories and Subject Descriptors

“…There are numerous studies of open source software development, including those on governance (Markus, 2007;O'Mahony and Ferraro, 2007), studies of corporate open source projects (Daniel et al, 2011;Gurbani et al, 2010), studies on a variety of specific open source projects including Linux (Raymond, 2000(Raymond, , 2001, and Apache (Dueñas et al, 2007;Fielding, 1999;Mockus et al, 2000;Roberts et al, 2006) and Apache compared against Mozilla (Mockus et al, 2002), and even studies of what clout a country might exert on a firm's decision to adopt open source software (Qu et al, 2011). Adding to the knowledgebase on open source are also online publications, downloadable software, lists of open source projects to join, and webinars conducted by the non-profit foundations such as the Linux Foundation (http://www.linuxfoundation.org) and the Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org).…”

Abstract:For over a decade, we assumed that software developers had a choice between the cathedral and the bazaar: developers could choose to develop propriety software in a structural hierarchy of planned development, testing, and documentation or in a tumultuous and exciting, quick release open source marketplace. We are finding that these assumptions are no longer valid. Corporate members' participation in open source software development and greater attention to compliance with open source licenses has signalled the need for new metaphors for open source software design and development. In this study, we use participant observation and functional discourse analysis to determine which metaphors are useful and seek evidence for these metaphors in the emergent governance structure of the Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX ® ) working group, which is one of the important players in the future of open source development. We observed three governing structures for the SPDX working group: meritocracy, adhocracy, and family/republic and reflected back to the SPDX working group the need to pay greater attention to their governance structures to help in future strategic decisions. We conclude that open source developers now have a choice among collectivism, creativity, competition, and control. 126M. Germonprez et al.
