	year = {2010},
	abstract = {Participants in an OSS/FLOSS development project often span national and organizational boundaries, as developers from different countries and corporations join the project. A project team{\textquoteright}s national and organizational culture creates opportunities for learning from others, but may also lead to conflict and inhibit learning. This research examines developers{\textquoteright} learning in an OSS project, and the cultural context in which learning takes place. We focus on single- and doubleloop learning and examine the impact of the team{\textquoteright}s national and organizational culture on a developer{\textquoteright}s learning. Archival and survey data are collected from two large-scale Sourceforge projects. This research can contribute to the OSS literature by examining the impact of team interactions on developers{\textquoteright} learning. Practically, administrators and managers stand to gain insight into the learning benefits of participation in OSS projects, and thus better assess their value as a training ground for global software development.},
