%0 Journal Article %D 2007 %T Role Migration and Advancement Processes in OSSD Projects: A Comparative Case Study %A Chris Jensen %A Walt Scacchi %X Socio-technical processes have come to the forefront of recent analysis of the open source software development (OSSD) world. Interest in making these processes explicit is mounting from industry and the software process community, as well as among those who may become contributors to an OSSD organization. This paper serves to close this gap by providing an analysis of the role migration and project career advancement process, and role-sets within, that we have observed within three large OSSD project organizations: Mozilla.org, Apache.org, and NetBeans.org. %8 May %G eng %> https://flosshub.org/sites/flosshub.org/files/Jensen-Scacchi-ICSE-2007.pdf
