Community, joining, and specialization in open source software innovation: a case study

“It is a knowledge-intensive activity requiring high domain knowledge, experience, and intensive learning (von Krogh et al., 2003).”

“• QA2: Apakah BPMS memiliki komunitas pengguna aktif dan dukungan resmi? (Memiliki komunitas aktif dalam konteks sumber terbuka alat relevan) [15].”

“Secondly, crowdsourcing calls upon a community of individuals who have to solve the problems presented [Von Krogh et al., 2003; Dahlander and Wallin, 2006].”

“…of economic research, there are many studies on the sustainability of open source development from computer science and information system. von Krogh et al. (2003) examined how developers choose to join the open source project and how they specialize by analyzing data from Freenet development…”

“A large number of studies have established that developers are driven by a mix of intrinsic, extrinsic, ideological and community motivations (Alexy and Leitner 2011; Krishnamurthy et al. 2014; Von Krogh et al. 2003) to make contributions to OSS projects.”

“wikis and answering project-related questions [19].”

“In fact, OSS communities have long been recognized as one of the key factors contributing to the success of many famous OSS projects [8],[17],[18], and previous studies in this area focused mainly on the motivation [19]-[21], participation and contribution [21]-[23] of software developers (also known as knowledge work…”

“…an appropriate array of skills or specializations to cover off the variety of design and technical needs in a course development project (Krishna Raj & Srinivasa, 2012), and over the longer term bring their experience to the project as mentors or administrators (von Krogh, Spaeth & Lakhani, 2003).”

“Second, the learning curve effect, previously identified as an obstacle for FLOSS development participation in previous literature [3], could be weakened in FLOSS mobile application development projects due to the availability of development tools and instrumental instructions such as iOS and Android development toolk…”

“This is a barrier to participation in open source development [10] and a source of frustration to commercial developers [4].”

“For OSS projects with well-established governance policies, a new contributor must adhere to processes derived from the existing complex social structure [23] of the governance group [24].”

“…taken the creative lead in the development of technologies have gone some way to clarifying the existence of the phenomenon, but they fail to address a number of significant questions about the process of innovation; these questions call for in-depth qualitative research (Von Krogh et al., 2003).”

“Obwohl erfolgreiche Ansätze aus dem „Open Source-Bereich“ das große Potential von offenen Innovationsprozessen für die Softwareentwicklung aufzeigen (Lakhani, von Hippel 2003; Piller 2003; von Krogh et al. 2003), kommen diese in der deutschen Softwarebranche nur sporadisch zum Einsatz.”

“Wakkary and Maestri (2007) reported similar everyday creative acts within families.”

“After all, we are the ones who will benefit from efforts to develop such free (as in freedom) and open source resources and further our own community building efforts.”
