Lots of research work has been conducted on analyzing software artifacts created by producers, but few of them reveal the power of feedback from consumers which we believe is very important for the evaluation and evolution of open source software. This paper introduces OSSEAN, a platform for Open Source Software Evaluating, Analyzing and Networking. OSSEAN divides the open source communities into two groups: software production communities and software consumption communities. The former contain structured software artifacts such as projects, source code and issues, while the latter are full of textual documents with rich semantics of user feedback. We show the power of OSSEAN with some interesting demos by analyzing more than 200 thousands of open source projects and 10 million documents.}, keywords = {flossmole}, doi = {10.1109/SOSE.2015.51}, author = {Yin, Gang and Wang, Tao and Wang, Huaimin and Fan, Qiang and Zhang, Yang and Yu, Yue and Yang, Cheng} } @proceedings {1766, title = {Wait For It: Determinants of Pull Request Evaluation Latency on GitHub}, year = {2015}, month = {05/2015}, publisher = {IEEE}, abstract = {The pull-based development model, enabled by git and popularised by collaborative coding platforms like BitBucket, Gitorius, and GitHub, is widely used in distributed software teams. While this model lowers the barrier to entry for potential contributors (since anyone can submit pull requests to any repository), it also increases the burden on integrators (i.e., members of a project{\textquoteright}s core team, responsible for evaluating the proposed changes and integrating them into the main development line), who struggle to keep up with the volume of incoming pull requests. In this paper we report on a quantitative study that tries to resolve which factors affect pull request evaluation latency in GitHub. Using regression modeling on data extracted from a sample of GitHub projects using the Travis-CI continuous integration service, we find that latency is a complex issue, requiring many independent variables to explain adequately.}, url = {https://bvasiles.github.io/papers/msr15.pdf}, attachments = {https://flosshub.org/sites/flosshub.org/files/msr15.pdf}, author = {Yu, Yue and Wang, Huaimin and Filkov, Vladimir and Devanbu, Premkumar and Vasilescu, Bogdan} } @conference {Zhang:2014:ISM:2666539.2666572, title = {Investigating Social Media in GitHub{\textquoteright}s Pull-requests: A Case Study on Ruby on Rails}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 1st International Workshop on Crowd-based Software Development Methods and Technologies}, series = {CrowdSoft 2014}, year = {2014}, pages = {37{\textendash}41}, publisher = {ACM}, organization = {ACM}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, abstract = {In GitHub, pull-request mechanism is an outstanding social development method by integrating with many social media. Many studies have explored that social media has an important effect on software development. @-mention as a typical social media, is a useful tool in social platform. In this paper, we made a quantitative analysis of @-mention in pull-requests of the project Ruby on Rails. First, we make a convictive statistics of the popularity of pull-request mechanism in GitHub. Then we investigate the current situation of @-mention in the Ruby on Rails. Our empirical analysis results find some insights of @-mention. }, keywords = {@-mention, github, pull-request, social media}, isbn = {978-1-4503-3224-8}, doi = {10.1145/2666539.2666572}, url = {http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/2666539.2666572}, author = {Zhang, Yang and Yin, Gang and Yu, Yue and Wang, Huaimin} }
