Abstract

This study, first, points the rhizomatic nature of open source software (OSS) communities. Then, it proposes an hypergraph based research methodology both to capture and to analyze dynamics of OSS communities. An exemplary hypergraph theoretical analysis of power antecedence within rhizomatic network of an OSS community is illustrated.
