Walt Scacchi · 2003
This study presents findings from empirical studies of software development practices, social processes, technical system configurations, organizational contexts, and interrelationships that give rise to free or open source software (F/OSS) systems in different communities. This article thus investigates processes and practices that arise in F/OSS projects in different communities, and specifically focuses on F/OSS computer game community to provide examples of common practices.
