Abstract

Our main finding is that OSS community seems to coordinate its activities by relying on technical determination. First, we review previous literature to understand OSS community coordination mechanisms. Then we empirically review OSS Apache Web Server community by using qualitative case study methods. Our data consist of developer list’s email-discussions. Finally, we speculate that coordination rests on community’s members’ shared assumption concerning technical determination.
