Studying the laws of software evolution in a long-lived FLOSS project
2013
Journal of Software: Evolution and Process
Preserved Fulltext
As a result, we have developed a methodology for studying the evolution of such long-lived projects based on the information in their source code management repository, described in detail several aspects ...
Some free, open-source software projects have been around for quite a long time, the longest living ones dating from the early 1980s. ...
We thank the developers of glibc for the care in the maintenance of their SCM repository, for enabling this study by making it publicly available, and for developing glibc itself over such a long period ...

We examine the role of face-to-face meetings in the context of technologysupported self-organizing distributed or virtual teams, specifically Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) development teams. ...
Based on a qualitative inductive analysis of data from interviews and observations at FLOSS conferences, we identify a variety of settings in which developers meet face-to-face, activities performed in ...
Indeed, FLOSS projects follow a power law distribution in size, meaning that there are a few very big projects and a lot of small ones. ...
