Individual factors encompassed forms of contributions, motivation, expertise and knowledge. Role structures, expectations towards other members, trust and collaboration issues were analysed at group level. More than 60\% of the developer community completed this questionnaire. Results provide a valuable basis for deeper understanding of knowledge sharing, collaboration and innovation processes in distributed work groups.}, keywords = {apache, Survey}, attachments = {https://flosshub.org/sites/flosshub.org/files/maass66-71.pdf}, author = {Maass, W.} }
