This working paper unveils the crafting of a systematic literature review on open-source platforms. The high-competitive mobile devices market, where several players such as Apple, Google, Nokia and Microsoft run a platforms- war with constant shifts in their technological strategies, is gaining increasing attention from scholars. It matters, then, to review previous literature on past platforms-wars, such as the ones from the PC and game-console industries, and assess its implications to the current mobile devices platforms-war. The paper starts by justifying the purpose and rationale behind this literature review on open-source platforms. The concepts of open-source software and computer-based platforms were then discussed both individually and in unison, in order to clarify the core-concept of {\textquotedblleft}open-source platform{\textquotedblright} that guides this literature review. The detailed design of the employed methodological strategy is then presented as the central part of this paper. The paper concludes with preliminary findings organizing previous literature on open-source platforms for the purpose of guiding future research in this area.

It is a widely held belief that Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) development leads to the creation of software with the same, if not higher quality compared to that created using proprietary software development models. However there is little research on evaluating the quality of FOSS code, and the impact of project characteristics such as age, number of core developers, code-base size, etc. In this exploratory study, we examined 110 FOSS projects, measuring the quality of the code and architectural design using code smells. We found that, contrary to our expectations, the overall quality of the code is not affected by the size of the code base, but that it was negatively impacted by the growth of the number of code contributors. Our results also show that projects with more core developers don{\textquoteright}t necessarily have better code quality.

The Free Open Source Software (FOSS) solutions have been reaching a high demand, usage and global recognition, not only in the development of applications for companies and institutions also in the management of services and incidents. With the upswing of Information Technology (IT), the development of tools that enable the reporting of problems and incidents on any organization or company is necessary. Every day you need more applications, software generally, that make easier the user{\textquoteright}s actions. This paper describes the need to use these tools and recount the development of a web application that allows the management of reports and incidents from users of Nova, the GNU/Linux Cuban distribution.

These mechanisms may have different effects on peer impression formation. This paper describes a social network analysis of the WikiMedia project to determine which type of interaction has the most favorable characteristics for impressions formation. The results suggest that due to lower centralization, high interactivity, and high degree of interactions between participants, the code review interactions have the most favorable characteristics to support impression formation among FOSS participants.},

Free/Open Source Software allows students to learn valuable real world skills and experiences, as well as a create a portfolio to show future employers. However, the learning curve to joining FOSS can be daunting, often leading newcomers to walk away frustrated. Universities therefore need to find ways to provide a structured introduction to students, helping them overcome the barriers to entry. This paper describes two courses taught at two universities, built around a Communities of Practice model, and the lessons learned from these. Suggestions and insights are shared for how to structure and evaluate such courses for maximum effect.

We analyzed peer code review data of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) to understand whether code changes that introduce security vulnerabilities, referred to as vulnerable code changes (VCC), occur at certain intervals. Using a systematic manual analysis process, we identified 60 VCCs. Our results suggest that AOSP developers were more likely to write VCCs prior to AOSP releases, while during the post-release period they wrote fewer VCCs.
