Jianhua Shao is the internship student who will lead this project. Myself, George Kuk, Jeremy Morley ,Tyler Mitchell will also be involved in this project. Title: Study of collaboration networks in Open Source GIS Abstract: Over the last few years there has been tremendous increase in the growth and maturity of Open Source geospatial software. The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) has been instrumental in bringing together the various open source geospatial communities and help sustain this growth. As part of this project we aim to look into the linkages between various open source GIS projects, communities, developers, users etc with the aim to better understand the open source geospatial ecosystem. We will collect data such as maillist, svn commits, issue tracker etc for doing the analysis and building the model. The results of the work will be published as a paper. We greatly welcoming input and suggestions on the best methods for this before 5th March. Is there any previous literature or examples of any studies done before in this area? If so, please let us know. Please contact Jianhua for any information needed on this.
