	abstract = {In this paper, we propose a novel approach to the problem of integrating code forges based on metadata (e.g., programming language, database, intended audience, operating system), similar software projects and software developers. We review the current problems in integrating metadata of different code forges and argue that Semantic Web technologies are suitable for representing and integrating knowledge contained inside these code forges. Further, we show the advantages of interlinking metadata of software projects to other relevant data sources on the Web, which will enable querying more information from the Web. Moreover, we compute the overlapping between code forges based on similar software developers and argue the benefit of interlinking similar software developers and software projects across different code forges through examples.

	abstract = {The growing interest in the usage of social media channels have attracted the open source software community to adopt an identity in order to disseminate project-related information to a wider audience. We foresee the need to integrate social media channels and open source software repositories in order to get an integrated view on the software project not only from the software development perspective but also from social perspective. Therefore, in this paper we study the usage of Twitter by software developers through harvesting their project-related activities on Twitter. In particular, we present the most frequently used hashtags by software developers and further investigate if project-related hashtags are the most frequent and commonly used hashtags by software developers. Based on our findings, we argue that relevant information from social media channels should be integrated with the open source software repositories in order to provide a homogeneous view on a software project.
