Open source community roles and community continuity (Matt Germonprez, IEEE Computer)

I’m happy to report that the 39th article in the open source column of IEEE Computer has been published. As always, please consider writing an article proposal!

Abstract

Open source communities are built on the engagement of people, and these engagements are subject to change. Open source communities can recognize and support role adaptation where members join, support, and exit communities as their experiences and commitments change.

Keywords

Open Source, Open Source Movement, Open Source Software, Socio Technical, Continuous Source, Engagement Of People, Intersectional Experiences, Burnout, Changes In Communities, Part Of Community, Low Commitment
