The role of openness in open collaboration: A focus on open‐source software development projects

Abstract

Open‐source software development projects are well suited for exploring new ideas and acquiring knowledge from developers outside of the project. In this paper, we examine the impact of external developers on innovation in open‐source software development from the perspective of organizational learning theory. We examine the roles of external and internal developers, who “explore” and “exploit,” respectively, on the innovation performance of 17 691 open‐source software development projects whose data is stored in the GitHub platform. The results indicate that a multi‐faceted strategy, in which the exploitation successfully supports the exploration, is most effective for their success. The results also indicate that the role of exploration decreases after the release of the software.

Tendencias en el desarrollo de software libre: un análisis bibliométrico

“…Dada esta necesidad, los proyectos de desarrollo de software a partir de nuevos códigos (abiertos) se convierten en una tendencia para explorar nuevas fronteras en la construcción de metodologías que permiten ampliamente profundizar en proyectos de innovación que impacten de manera positiva las insuficiencias de las organizaciones en contextos nacionales e internacionales, así mismo, explorar y explotar el potencial de los desarrolladores (programadores) en las nuevas y mejoradas plataformas para adaptar los softwares en todas las áreas del conocimiento (Lee, Baek, & Oh, 2019).…”

Effective Application of Artificial Intelligence Techniques in Security Risk Assessment and Dependency Analysis of Open Source Components

“…At the same time, the open-source collaboration model has become the main development mode of the software industry. Not only realizes the sharing of human wisdom and improves the efficiency of software development, but it also leads the technological innovation and value creation; big data, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and other emerging areas of basic software are based on open source mode of research and development [1][2][3]. Open source software is unstoppable, and its significance is growing day by day, just as the roads and bridges in the software world [4][5][6].…”

Avoiding collaborative paradox in multi‐agent reinforcement learning

“…Collaborating social organizations [1] is not a new phenomenon so that individuals will be inspired intuitively when working together, outperforming their expectations [2]. Simultaneously, collaborative teams are achieving their goals, and each individual seeks to maximize their potential through inner competitive and benevolent relations [2,3].…”
