Abstract:
"This book gives an overview of the current research streams in the field of free and open source software development. A multitude of research approaches are used to explore free and open source software development processes, attributes of their products and the workings within the development communities. It offers a glimpse beyond "classical" free and open source software development, and analyzes chances and risks for cooperation with traditional organizations and the implications of this new model for areas other than software development"--Provided by publisher.
