Organization in Open Source Communities by Evangelia Berdou

Organization in Open Source Communities by Evangelia Berdou

This book contributes new insights into the organization of free/open source (F/OS) software communities by examining the links between learning, division of labour and commercialization.

'This book provides a thorough academic treatise of the open source phenomenon from a multitude of viewpoints, with special emphasis of the under-researched topic of commercialization' Stefan Koch, Vienna University of Economics

'The ‘next steps in the open source revolution’ have been promised by many but few have laid the basic groundwork of connecting real examples from open source practice to actual concepts underpinned by strong theoretical ideasThis book is all the more commendable for succeeding in this far from trivial task' Brian Fitzgerald, University of Limerick
