This paper presents a review of the Open Source development process from the point of view of the involvement of the developers in the production process. The study focuses on how developers contribute to projects in terms of involvement, size and kind of their contribution. Data have been collected from different kinds of open source projects and the results show that the general behavior is the same, even if projects and people are different.
