Aristotle vs. Ringelmann: A response to Scholtes et al. on Superlinear Production in Open Source Software
On December 19, 2015, Scholtes et al.’s work was published online in the Journal of Empirical Software Engineering [1], in which they challenged the exciting findings that we (with another co-author) presented in 2014, showing that open source software production exhibits superlinear productive bursts [2]. We presented our findings as the first quantification of Aristotle’s famous adage: The wh...
متن کاملOpen Courseware Vs. Open Source Software - A Critical Comparison
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently announced its OpenCourseWare project, which will make all its courseware available on the Internet free of charge. This paper compares the OpenCourseWare project to the open source approach of software development. It contrasts and evaluates the nature of the products, the motives of the producers and users, the consequences on the market...
متن کاملOpen Source Software Production: Climbing on the Shoulders of Giants
Open source software production is a successful new production model in which a public good is voluntarily provided. We argue that by studying this new production model we gain valuable insight for organization theory beyond software production. Under specific conditions this model can be generalized, contingent on the interplay of motivational, situational, and institutional factors. It is arg...
متن کاملFree/Open Source vs Closed Source Software: Public Policies in the Software Market∗
This paper analyzes the impact on social welfare of public policies supporting open source software (OSS). The focus of the paper is on desktop applications such as OpenOffice and Linux for desktops. Desktop users can be divided between those who know about the existence of OSS, the “informed” adopters, and the “uninformed” ones; the presence of uniformed users leads to market failures that may...
متن کاملOpen Source vs. Closed Source
Open source software development represents a fundamentally new concept in the field of software engineering. Open source development and delivery occurs on Internet time. Developers are not confined to a geographic area. They work voluntarily on a project of their choice. Developers work for peer-recognition and self-satisfaction. Open Source software is always in an evolutionary stage: it nev...
