Open source software development
Abstract
Open Source Software (OSS) is software that provides access to its source code in order to allow users to improve and redistribute the software. The emergence of OSS has introduced new ways to develop, test, and maintain software. While several success stories about large-scale OSS projects are reported, little research has been done on how small-scale OSS projects are managed by OSS developers. This paper reports preliminary findings from our experience with a small OSS project, while discussing differences between software processes in large- and small-scale OSS developments.
