	abstract = {What differentiates successful from unsuccessful open source software projects? This paper develops and tests a model of the impacts of license restrictiveness and organizational sponsorship on two indicators of success: user interest in, and development activity on, open source software development projects. Using data gathered from Freshmeat.net and project home pages, the main conclusions derived from the analysis are that (1) license restrictiveness and organizational sponsorship interact to influence user perceptions of the likely utility of open source software in such a way that users are most attracted to projects that are sponsored by nonmarket organizations and that employ nonrestrictive licenses, and (2) licensing and sponsorship address complementary developer motivations such that the influence of licensing on development activity depends on what kind of organizational sponsor a project has. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed, and the paper outlines several avenues for future research.},

	pages = {92-96},
	abstract = {Success in open source software (OSS) development has been viewed in many different ways. This paper examines the relationship between success in terms of the development efforts devoted to an OSS project and success in terms of the acceptance of the software by stakeholders beyond the immediate development group. Research has discussed the importance of communication, norms, and other factors related to the dynamics of work within open source software development groups. The model proposed here suggests a positioning of these internal dynamics in a larger nomological net explaining variation in the success of OSS efforts.},

	title = {An exploratory study of ideology and trust in open source development groups},
	year = {2001},
	note = {"To do this, we scanned information in the public domain to develop a preliminary understanding of the context. We then identified 48 OS projects using www.sourceforge.net, an on-line open source meeting place that provides information on open source efforts and hosts code repositories. Projects were selected to represent a variety of types of software, licenses, and group sizes. We contacted administrators or project leaders and asked them to complete open-ended questionnaires regarding their experience and views on open source development."},
	abstract = {Open source (OS) software development has been the subject of heightened interest among organizational scholars because of the novel social coordination practices that signal a departure from traditional proprietary software development. We propose that trust among group members in open source development groups (OSDGs) plays a key role in facilitating their success. Trust is important in this context because of the risk of opportunistic behavior by other members who volunteers may not have met and may never expect to meet, as well as a lack of explicit market contracts or common organizational affiliation. The open source community is differentiated by a coherent ideology that emphasizes a distinct set of interrelated norms, beliefs, and values. These serve to create incentives for open source practices that eschew conventional transactional norms in favor of a gift culture and a focus on reputations. In this study, we primarily examine the role of the shared ideology in enabling the development of affective and cognitive trust in OSDGs. We further examine how this trust leads to desired outcomes - group efficacy and effectiveness. The study is based on exploratory interviews, examination of archival records and a preliminary survey to understand the specific conditions of open source efforts on which this work-in-progress report is based. This is being followed-up by empirical testing of our research model through a survey of a broad variety of OSDGs. This study would contribute to a clarification of the role of trust in enabling software groups to work effectively and help to understand the bases of trust in ideology-permeated groups.},
