State of the art in the study of software development community

[JJ]

Its structure and the impact of the studies themselves.

Just some papers I've just found and I will be reading and commenting, in case any other is interested:

This paper is also spot-on https://scholar.google.es/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=vYIPWB0AAAAJ:ULOm3_A8WrAC by @barahonj

Israel Herraiz has published many papers on libre software that we should take into account:

https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=04Xst40AAAAJ

"Applying social network analysis techniques to community-driven libre software projects" "Tools for the study of the usual data sources found in libre software projects" "Evolution of the core team of developers in libre software projects" "A statistical examination of the evolution and properties of libre software"

@barahonj paper is already in the text :)

If we are going to add a lot of papers to the SOA I suggest to create a table of references to classify the papers using some kind of taxonomy:

• Subject of the study: for example group structure analysis, geographical aspects...
• Projects analysed: Big projects (Apache, Firefox...), all projects in a web (Sourceforge),
• Information used: mailing lists, forums, file modifications, profile information...
• Year
• Number of cites per paper: X

Thoughts?

Good, go ahead.

Dammit, forgot to add reference to this issue in commit 049b0ed7dd9c3306647dfa1d484ab70b76202f71

[JJ]

This paper also has lots of references http://climate.engin.umich.edu/openclimate/docref/Shah_open_source_governance_2006.pdf and deals with why people participate in open source communities.

And this one is extremely interesting http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.2753/MIS0742-1222250401#.VNz1iV1XZhE and might give us a good motivation for the study of these communities

Please, revise this book chapter "Tools and datasets for mining libre software repositories" http://bit.ly/173mlnQ

Authors present the most relevant data sources related to libre software projects and analyze the many problems that might occur when obtaining information related to those projects. Some tools and datasets (FLOSSMole, FLOSSMetrics, SRFA, PROMISE) are proposed. Finally, authors encourage to add data contributions to those "meta repositories".

Maybe data and graphs obtained in this study could be included/offered (in the near future) to one of those repositories?

Sorry guys, I am still working in my other paper (see https://github.com/geneura-papers/2015-ASOCO/ ) and I will be focused in that until deadline. I will continue reading papers next week. If anybody wants to substitute me while I am occupied, go on.
