ABSTRACT
Open-source communities can be seen as knowledge-sharing ecosystems: participants learn from the community and from one another, and share their knowledge through contributions to the source code repositories or by offering support to users. With the emergence and growing popularity of social media sites targeting software developers (e.g., StackOverflow, GitHub), the paths through which knowledge flows within open-source software knowledge-sharing ecosystems are also beginning to change. My dissertation research seeks to raise our understanding of these changes.

Recommendations
Toward an understanding of the motivation Open Source Software developers
ICSE '03: Proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Software EngineeringAn Open Source Software (OSS) project is unlikely to be successful unless there is an accompanied community that provides the platform for developers and users to collaborate. Members of such communities are volunteers whose motivation to participate ...
Workshop on human aspects of software engineering
OOPSLA '09: Proceedings of the 24th ACM SIGPLAN conference companion on Object oriented programming systems languages and applicationsThis workshop focuses on human aspects of software engineering. The importance of this topic stems from the recognition that the more the software world is developed, the more it is accepted by the software engineering community that the people involved ...
Behavioral software engineering
Throughout the history of software engineering, the human aspects have repeatedly been recognized as important. Even though research that investigates them has been growing in the past decade, these aspects should be more generally considered.The main ...
