Thinking about Part III: A Review of Our Empirical Research
This study was motivated by the power of openness in combination with the Internet’s global reach and the potential of open-source software (OSS) to understand online collaboration. It looked at theoretical factors that might be important for success or abandonment of OSS projects, and examined success and abandonment in the initiation stage and growth stage of project development. The study analyzed 2006 data from SourceForge.net and The Survey on Free/Libre and Open-Source Success to assess success and abandonment.
Keywords: openness, Internet, open-source software, online collaboration, success, abandonment, initiation stage, growth stage, SourceForge.net
