[Hampshire] The Rise and Fall of a Central Contributor: Dynamics of Social Organization and Performance in the Gentoo Community

2013-03-02 Thread Paul Freeman


I just read an interesting paper that I thought may interest others on 
the list. Essentially it is a study of "how the rise and fall
of a central contributor impacts the social organization and 
performance of an OSS community". using Gentoo as a case study and 
examining various performance metrics during the period when Daniel 
Robbins (Gentoo founder) left the project for various reasons.

or it's for the local authority tip.

I have a 4 port powerline ethernet adapter here. The other end died so
it is no use to me.

Yours for the cost of postage (or collection from Eastleigh or the next meetup)
