Leadership and control sharing across organizations and individuals in and between communities are common sources of conflict. Such conflict often leads to breakdowns in collaboration. This paper seeks to explore the negotiation of these conflicts, collaborative efforts, and leadership and control structures in the Netbeans.org community. %B Proceedings of the 4th ICSE Workshop on Open Source %P 48-52 %> https://flosshub.org/sites/flosshub.org/files/jensen_0.pdf
