SECI model of knowledge dimensions: Nonaka Takeuchi The SECI model of knowledge dimensions is a model of knowledge creation that explains how tacit and explicit knowledge are converted into organisational knowledge. The SECI model distinguishes four knowledge dimensions – socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization – which together form the acronym "SECI". The SECI model was originally developed by Ikujiro Nonaka in 1990 and later further refined by Hirotaka Takeuchi.
liminal approach – cf. the movement of individuals engaged in open source communities. open source communities and growing body of knowledge on corporate engagement in open source communities, our understanding of the movements of individuals within these communities is limited. To analyze these movements, we build on Arnold Van Gennep and Victor Turners’ theories on liminality. Through this lens, we build an understanding of the movements of individual members within open source communities.

Link: https://flosshub.org/232 In distributed software development, two sorts of dependencies can arise. The structure of the software system itself can create dependencies between software elements, while the structure of the development process can create dependencies between software developers. Each of these both shapes and reflects the development process. Our research concerns the extent to which, by looking uniformly at artifacts and activities, we can uncover the structures of software projects, and the ways in which development processes are inscribed into software artifacts.

In the past, groups of developers and modules have been partitioned naturally with informal criteria. In this work, however, we propose a developer-module relationship model to analyze the grouping structures between developers and modules. Our results show some process cases of relative importance on the constructed graph of project development. The graph reveals certain subtle relationships in the interactions between core and non-core team developers, and the interfaces between kernel and non-kernel modules.

Designing for Participation: Three Models for Developer Involvement in Hybrid OSS Projects Submitted by msquire on Tue, 2017-05-16 09:46 Authors:  Mäenpää, H, Kilamo, T, Mikkonen, T, Männistö, T Secondary Title  Open Source Systems: Towards Robust Practices 13th International Conference on Open Source Systems This paper reports governance practices of three profit oriented companies that develop OSS software with the help of their respective open development communities. We explore how the companies allow development contributions from external stakeholders, and what knowledge they let out of their internal software development activities. The results lay ground for further research on how to organize openness of the software development process in hybrid setups where the needs of different stakeholders are partly competing - yet complementary.

Knowledge Flows Within Open Source Software Projects: A Social Network Perspective Authors  Kerzazi, N, El Asri, I   Secondary Authors   El-Azouzi, R, Menasche, DS, Sabir, E, De Pellegrini, F, Benjillali, M Secondary Title  Advances in Ubiquitous Networking 2: Proceedings of the UNet'16
Keywords:  expertise, Knowledge flows, open source, SNA
AbstractDeveloping software is knowledge-intensive activity, requiring extensive technical knowledge and awareness. The abstract part of development is the social interactions that drive knowledge flows between contributors, especially for Open Source Software (OSS). This study investigated knowledge sharing and propagation from social perspective using social network analysis (SNA). We mined and analyzed the issue and review histories of three OSS from GitHub. Particular attention has been paid to the socio-interactions through comments from contributors on reviews. We aim at explaining the propagation and density of knowledge flows within contributor networks. The results show that review requests flow from the core contributors toward peripheral contributors and comments on reviews are in a continuous loop from the core teams to the peripherals and back; and the core contributors leverage on their awareness and technical knowledge to increase their notoriety by playing the role of communication brokers supported by comments on work items.

Managing knowledge sharing in distributed innovation from the perspective of developers: empirical study of open source software projects in China Submitted by msquire on Wed, 2017-04-05 21:17 Title Managing knowledge sharing in distributed innovation from the perspective of developers: empirical study of open source software projects in China Publication Type    Journal Article Year of Publication    2017 Authors    Chen, X, Zhou, Y, Probert, D, Su, J Secondary Title    Technology Analysis & Strategic Management Volume    2929143029 Issue    11721 Pagination    1 - 22 Date Published    01/2017 ISSN Number    1465-3990
Keywords:  Distributed innovation, knowledge sharing, performance of OSS projects, user innovation
Abstract:  Knowledge sharing is the key factor that influences the performance of open source software (OSS) projects, which are the representative cases of distributed innovation. This paper aims to explore the mechanism of knowledge sharing in OSS projects from the perspective of developers in China. A quantitative method with the analysis of 403 valid questionnaires is adopted. A series of hypotheses about how distributed innovation (independent variables) influences knowledge sharing (mediating variable) and then affects the performance of OSS projects (dependent variable) are tested and approved. On the one side, we argue that developers will actively affect knowledge sharing in terms of participative motivation, social network and organisational culture. On the other hand, users may also affect the knowledge sharing when considering innovation willingness and capacity. It is interesting to find that social network is the most important factor in Chinese cases. It is strongly recommended to strengthen the collaboration between software companies and OSS communities.

Abstract: Digital ecosystems continue to evolve, as new external APIs continue to enter into it. Not all new APIs, however, have the same fate: some are successfully connected with existing APIs and spark major changes in the ecosystem, while others are simply ignored. Particularly, some of the components end up playing a major role in shaping the structure of the ecosystem. To systematically explore what determines the fate of different APIs, we hypothesize how the network property and non-network property of external APIs affect the probability of the APIs becoming a part of the core in the structure of a digital ecosystem. For the empirical test, we used plug-in source code data collected from Wordpress.org from January 2004 to December 2014. Using a survival analysis, we found that external APIs as cores are more influential than components offered by a focal platform system in the growth of a digital ecosystem.

The study uses data from 74 projects in the Apache Software Foundation Incubator. We conceptualize project success in terms of success building a community, as assessed by graduation from the Incubator. We compare successful and unsuccessful projects on volume of communication by core (committer) and peripheral community members and on use of inclusive pronouns as an indication of efforts to create intimacy among team members. An innovation of the paper is that use of inclusive pronouns is measured using natural language processing techniques. We find that core and peripheral members differ in their volume of contribution and in their use of inclusive pronouns, and that volume of communication is related to project success.

In particular, we hypothesize that peripheral developer participation is higher when the potential for building reputation by gaining recognition from project stakeholders is higher. We consider recognition by internal stakeholders (such as core developers) and external stakeholders (such as end-users and peers). We find a positive association between peripheral developer participation and the potential of stakeholder recognition. DOI  10.1145/2820618(link is external)

On the role of FOSS business models and participation architectures in supporting open innovation Submitted by msquire on Tue, 2015-09-15 11:12; Title: On the role of FOSS business models and participation architectures in supporting open innovation Publication Type    Report Year of Publication    2015
Authors: Purcell, MW Secondary Title OpenSym 2015, the 11th International Symposium on Open Collaboration Date Published 08/2015
Abstract: Most research regarding innovation in free and open source software (FOSS) pertains to identifying supporting conditions for promoting code contribution. This raises concerns about the ability of FOSS communities to remain innovative based only on the perspectives of developer-users. Preliminary research suggests different open source business models may provide motivation to support greater involvement of non-developer users.

Discourses on User Participation Submitted by msquire on Fri, 2012-03-02 09:18 Title Discourses on User Participation
Publication Type Journal Article
Year of Publication 2009
Authors Iivari, N
Refereed Designation Refereed
Secondary Title International Journal of Open Source Software and Processes
Abstract: Users should participate in information technology (IT) artifact development, but it has proven to be challenging. This applies also in the open source software (OSS) development. This chapter critically examines discursive construction of user participation in academic literatures and in practice, in IT artifact development. First three academic discourses constructing user participation are discussed. Then the discursive construction of user participation is explored in OSS development literature. Afterwards, results from several empirical, interpretive case studies are outlined. Some of them have been carried out in the IT artifact product development organizations, others in the OSS development context. Clear similarities can be identified in the discourses constructing user participation in these divergent IT artifact development contexts. The academic discourses on user participation clearly also legitimate certain ways of constructing user participation in practice. The OSS development literature bears resemblance mainly with the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) discourse on user participation. Therefore, it is argued that especially the HCI community should carefully reflect on what kinds of discourses on user participation it advocates and deems as legitimate.

Flat for the few, steep for the many: Structural cohesion as a measure of hierarchy in FLOSS communities Submitted by msquire on Sat, 2011-04-30 15:13 Title Flat for the few, steep for the many: Structural cohesion as a measure of hierarchy in FLOSS communities Publication Type Conference Paper Year of Publication 2009 Authors: Conaldi, G Secondary Title 4th Workshop on Public Data about Software Development (WoPDaSD 2009) Date Published 2009 Keywords case study, email, email archives, epiphany, gnome, mailing list, social network analysis Abstract: A discrepancy exists between the emphasis posed by practitioners on decentralized and non-hierarchical communication in Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) communities and empirical evidence of their hierarchical structure. In order to explain this apparent paradox it is here hypothesized that in FLOSS communities local sub-groups exist and are less hierarchical, more decentralized than the whole social network to which they belong. A measure of structural cohesion based on network node connectivity is proposed as an effective method to test whether FLOSS communication networks can be decomposed in nested hierarchies of progressively less centralized sub-groups. Preliminary results from a case study that are consistent with the hypothesis are presented and discussed. Full Text.

Abstract: Prior research into open source software (OSS) developer participation has emphasized individuals' motivations for joining these volunteer communities, but it has failed to explain why people stay or leave in the long run. Building upon Lave and Wenger's theory of legitimate peripheral participation (LPP), this paper offers a longitudinal investigation of one OSS community in which sustained participation is hypothesized to be associated with the coevolution of two major elements of LPP theory: "situated learning" (the process of acting knowledgeably and purposefully in the world) and "identity construction" (the process of being identified within the community). To test this hypothesis, data were collected from multiple sources, including online public project documents, electronic mail messages, tracker messages, and log files. Results from qualitative analyses revealed that initial conditions to participate did not effectively predict long-term participation, but that situated learning and identity construction behaviors were positively linked to sustained participation. Furthermore, this study reveals that sustained participants distinguished themselves by consistently engaging in situated learning that both made conceptual (advising others) and practical contributions (improving the code). Implications and future research are discussed. Link:URL http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1554441.1554443 DOI 10.2753/MIS0742-1222250401(link is external)
