“…The authors of [33] studied the collaboration and communication of OS developers from a higher-level perspective, which can improve efficiency, but did not consider trust. Zhang et al [34] summarized the common structure and evolutionary characteristics of OS community developer collaboration models and provided relevant management suggestions based on sociology. However, there was insufficient consideration for the joining and exiting of personnel.…”

Open-source systems help to manage the rapid development of software, while governing open-source systems properly can effectively promote software and software engineering. However, some significant problems, such as code controls, incentives, interaction and cooperation, automation, transparency and fairness of rights and responsibilities, cannot be properly solved by traditional methodologies. The decentralization, immutability, change in trust mode and smart contract programming of blockchain provide new solutions. In order to solve the problems of traditional centralized open-source governance, this paper proposes a decentralized open-source coordination management system using a novel triple-blockchain architecture. Through the analysis of traditional and blockchain-based research, the business and technical issues that need to be addressed in decentralized open-source governance systems have been emphatically studied. Combined with triple-blockchain architecture, smart contracts, oracles and continuous integration tools, we study the decentralization of open-source businesses and make them more trustworthy, automated and coordinated. An identity authentication mechanism is designed for permission control and inter-community collaboration. A decentralized open-source reputation is proposed for incentive and reference. We also improved the DPoS (Delegated Proof of Stake) consensus under triple-blockchain architecture to reduce repeated elections. By constructing the OSCMS prototype based on the proposed architecture model, many comparative experiments were conducted under different parameters and conditions and showed good feasibility, scalability, reliability and performance. The OSCMS not only solves the shortcomings of previous research but also provides a comprehensive and feasible reference for the decentralized practice of open-source governance.

“…A fundamental theory in network science is that the function of real systems is reflected through the structural characteristics of their corresponding networks [5][6][7][8]. Empirical studies show that the developer collaboration network of successful OSS communities often has specific structural characteristics [9][10][11][12][13][14], such as modular [15] and small-world [4] structures. Meanwhile, there is evidence that an OSS community can fail during development, frequently due to insufficient participation by volunteers [16,17].…”

The structural stability of the developer collaboration network is critical to the success of the OSS (Open Source Software) community. However, research on the structural stability of the evolving developer collaboration network in OSS communities is relatively insufficient. In this paper, according to the software version sequence, we construct the corresponding developer collaboration network of the Angular OSS community and then analyse this network’s structural stability during network evolution. The results show that the network always presents an economical modular small-world structure during its evolution. The maintenance of the structure is related to a cohesive core, which is composed of two types of nodes (i.e., hubs and connectors). The hubs organize noncore nodes to form modules, while connectors facilitate the formation of inter-module connections. The overall results highlight the important role of core developers in the sustainable development of OSS communities and may provide a reference for community initiators to implement protection strategies for core developers.
