Building Sustainable Open Source Communities

At OSCOMM 2009, researchers from Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America came together to share early stage and ongoing research on building sustainable open source communities. Topics included ecosystem health, fostering participation, knowledge transfer, culture, and sustainable business models. OSS communities is a thriving area of research, with a high potential to impact practice. Expect to see articles from some of these international authors in upcoming issues of the OSBR.

OSCOMM 2009 is the 1st International Workshop on Building Sustainable Open Source Communities, held June 6 2009 in Skovde Sweden, co-located with OSS 2009.
