Usability and user experience (UX) issues are often not well emphasized and addressed in open source software (OSS) development. There is an imperative need for supporting OSS communities to collaboratively identify, understand, and fix UX…
Cross-community collaboration can exploit the expertise and knowledges of crowds in different communities. Recently increasing users in open source software (OSS) community like GitHub attempt to gather software requirements from question…
The widespread development and adoption of open-source software have built an ecosystem for open development and collaboration. In this ecosystem, individuals and organizations collaborate to create high-quality software that can be used by…
The open-source community uses the GitHub platform to exchange and share software applications and services of interest. This paper aims to identify the open-source community's interest in gender-related projects on GitHub. Our findings…
Forking-based development has made it easier and straightforward for developers to contribute to open-source software (OSS). Developers can fork an existing project and add changes in their local version without interrupting the development…
The way developers collaborate inside and particularly across teams often escapes management's attention, despite a formal organization with designated teams being defined. Observability of the actual, organically formed engineering…
Context: Over the last decades, open-source software has pervaded the software industry and has become one of the key pillars in software engineering. The incomparable growth of open source reflected that pervasion: Prior work described…
The NLP community has witnessed steep progress in a variety of tasks across the realms of monolingual and multilingual language processing recently. These successes, in conjunction with the proliferating mixed language interactions on…
A growing community that shares digital 3D designs has created an opportunity to study, encourage and stimulate innovation. This remix community allows people not only to prototype at a minimal cost but also to work on projects they are…
In recent years, the field of software engineering has experienced a considerable increase in demand for competent experts, resulting in an increased demand for platforms that connect software engineers and facilitate collaboration. In…
Open-source projects that aim to make their offerings public have competed against for-profit, proprietary companies in a number of domains. These open-source projects often arise in response to the offerings of proprietary companies in…
A selection of intellectual goods produced by online communities - e.g. open source software or knowledge bases like Wikipedia - are in daily use by a broad audience, and thus their quality impacts the public at large. Yet, it is still…
Within an increasingly digitalized organizational landscape, this research delves into the dynamics of decentralized collaboration, contrasting it with traditional collaboration models. An effective capturing of high-level collaborations…
In this paper we report findings from a study of social network site use in a UK Government department. We have investigated this from a managerial, organisational perspective. We found at the study site that there are already several…
The Open Source Software movement has been growing exponentially for a number of years with no signs of slowing. Driving this growth is the widespread availability of libraries and frameworks that provide many functionalities. Developers…
From science to industry, teamwork plays a crucial role in knowledge production and innovation. Most studies consider teams as static groups of individuals, thereby failing to capture how the micro-dynamics of collaborative processes and…
Nowadays, many software projects are partially or completely open-source based. There is an increasing need for companies to participate in open-source software (OSS) projects, e.g., in order to benefit from open source ecosystems. OSS…
While the open-source software development model has led to successful large-scale collaborations in building software systems, data science projects are frequently developed by individuals or small teams. We describe challenges to scaling…
Wikipedia and open source software projects have been cited as canonical examples of collectively intelligent organizations. Both organizations rely on large crowds of contributors to create knowledge goods. The crowds that emerge in both…
We introduce NetworKit, an open-source software package for analyzing the structure of large complex networks. Appropriate algorithmic solutions are required to handle increasingly common large graph data sets containing up to billions of…
