These companies need both strategic and operational support on how to adapt OSS as a part of their products and how to adjust processes and organizations to increase the benefits from OSS participation. This work presents the key insights from the journey that Sony Mobile has made from a company developing proprietary software to a respected member of OSS communities. We framed the experiences into an Open Source Maturity Model that includes two scenarios: engineering-driven and business-driven open source. We outline the most important decisions, roles, processes and implications. }, keywords = {ecosystem, poster, software business}, author = {Mols, CE and Wnuk, K} } @conference {Wu:2014:EES:2556420.2556483, title = {Exploring the Ecosystem of Software Developers on GitHub and Other Platforms}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the Companion Publication of the 17th ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work \&\#38; Social Computing}, series = {CSCW Companion {\textquoteright}14}, year = {2014}, pages = {265{\textendash}268}, publisher = {ACM}, organization = {ACM}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, abstract = {GitHub provides various social features for developers to collaborate with others. Those features are important for developers to coordinate their work (Dabbish et al., 2012; Marlow et al., 2013). We hypothesized that the social system of GitHub users was bound by system interactions such that contributing to similar code repositories would lead to users following one another on GitHub or vice versa. Using a quadratic assignment procedure (QAP) correlation, however, only a weak correlation among followship and production activities (code, issue, and wiki contributions) was found. Survey with GitHub users revealed an ecosystem on the Internet for software developers, which includes many platforms, such as Forrst, Twitter, and Hacker News, among others. Developers make social introductions and other interactions on these platforms and engage with one anther on GitHub. Due to these preliminary findings, we describe GitHub as a part of a larger ecosystem of developer interactions. }, keywords = {ecosystem, follow, github, social connection}, isbn = {978-1-4503-2541-7}, doi = {10.1145/2556420.2556483}, url = {http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/2556420.2556483}, author = {Wu, Yu and Kropczynski, Jessica and Shih, Patrick C. and Carroll, John M.} } @conference {1205, title = {Weaving~a~Semantic~Web~across~OSS~repositories: a~spotlight~on~bts-link,~UDD,~SWIM}, booktitle = {4th Workshop on Public Data about Software Development (WoPDaSD 2009)}, year = {2009}, note = {position paper; non-experimental}, abstract = {Several public repositories and archives of facts about libre software projects, developed either by open source communities or by research communities, have been flourishing over the Web in the recent years. These enable new analysis and support new quality assurance tasks. By using Semantic Web techniques, the databases containing data about open-source software projects development can be interconnected, hence letting OSS partakers identify resources, annotate them and further interlink them using dedicated properties, collectively designing a distributed semantic graph. Such links expressed with standard Semantic techniques are paving the way to new applications (including ones meant for {\textquotedblleft}end-users{\textquotedblright}). For instance this may have an impact on the way research efforts are conducted (less fragmented), and could also be used by development communities to improve Quality Assurance tasks. A goal of the research conducted within the HELIOS project, is to address bugtracker synchronization issues. For that, the potential of using Semantic Web technologies in navigating between many different bugtracker systems scattered all over the open source ecosystem is being investigated. This position paper presents some existing tools, projects and models proposed by OSS actors that are complementary to research initiatives, and that are likely to lead to useful future developments: UDD (Ultimate Debian Database) and bts-link, developed by the Debian community, and SWIM (Semantic Web enabled Issue Manager) developed by Mandriva. The HELIOS team welcomes comments on the future paths that can be considered in using the Semantic Web approach for improving these projects. }, keywords = {bts-link, bug tracker, bugzilla, debian, ecosystem, helios, mandriva, semantic Web, swim, udd}, attachments = {https://flosshub.org/sites/flosshub.org/files/HELIOS-WOPDASD-improved-Olivier.pdf}, author = {Olivier Berger and Valentin Vlasceanu and Christian Bac and Lauri{\`e}re, St{\'e}phane} }
