Volunteer Management in Open Source Communities

Open source community management is largely ad-hoc and
relies on practitioner guides. Yet there is a great deal of information
about volunteer management in the general volunteering
literature, open source literature and general volunteering
guides which could be relevant to open source communities
if it were categorized and validated. Bringing these
different sources of information together also reveals gaps in
our understanding of volunteer management in open source
which I hope to address.
