The Emergence of Governance in an Open Source Community
Abstract
Little is known about how communities producing collective goods govern themselves. In a multimethod study of one open source software community, we found that members developed a shared basis of formal authority but limited it with democratic mechanisms that enabled experimentation with shifting conceptions of authority over time. When members settled on a shared conception of authority, it was more expansive than their original design. A statistical test of the predictors of leadership reinforced this finding. By blending bureaucratic and democratic mechanisms, the governance system evolved with the community's changing conceptions of authority.

“In fact, most open projects (like the Web, Wikipedia, P2P, FOSS) showed remarkable tendencies to centralization over time [59].”
From Tribal Governance: The Business of Blockchain Authentication (2018) · cites this paper as [59]
In the citing paper
“Likewise, engaging in collective action threats and expecting open source governance practices to remain unchanged is also risky as open source governance may be controlled by just a few people willing to make unilateral changes to offset collective action threats (O'Mahony and Ferraro 2007; Shaikh and Henfridsson 2017;Mindel et al. 2018).”

In the citing paper
“Unlike the democratically constrained positional authority observed by O'Mahony and Ferraro (2007), vendor authority in our cases lacked community engagement.”

In the citing paper
“This configuration is consistent with Shaikh and Henfridsson's (2017) observation that open source projects can simultaneously incorporate meritocratic and autocratic modes of governance, and O'Mahony and Ferraro's (2007) observation that tensions can arise from how authority is allocated and exercised within an open source project.”
From Freeriding and Rebellion: An Investigation of Open Source Vendor Relicensing and Member Hard Forking Events (2026) · cites this paper as O'Mahony and Ferraro's (2007)
In the citing paper
“as O'Mahony and Ferraro (2007) suggest, governance structures emerge later in a project's lifecycle”
From The sustainability of open source commons (2023) · cites this paper as O'Mahony and Ferraro (2007)
In the citing paper
“Despite the extensive body of research describing OSS roles, pathways, and collaboration practices, few studies have examined governance as it is documented in project repositories.”
From Governance in Practice: How Open Source Projects Define and Document Roles (2026) · cites this paper as [36]
In the citing paper
“Existing work has mostly characterized how contributors gain authority or how leadership structures evolve, but has rarely investigated the governance artifacts that define these arrangements [24, 36].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
