---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stefan Merten Hi list! I was just pointed to the book Sowe, Sulayman K., Ioannis Stamelos & Ioannis Samoladas (eds.), 2007, Emerging Free and Open Source Software practices, IGI Publishing, USA Some Google results: Project infrastructure and software repositories are now widely available at low cost with easy extraction, providing a foundational base to conduct detailed cyber-archeology at a scale not open to researchers before. Emerging Free and Open Source Software Practices provides a collection of empirical research acting as a focal point to the status of these repositories and infrastructures along with the F/OSS project. Emerging Free and Open Source Software Practices presents a framework and state-of-the-art references on F/OSS projects, reporting on past and on-going case studies of projects covering a wide range of F/OSS applications and domains. This book postulates trends in the evolution of software practices and solutions to the challenges ubiquitous nature free and open source software provides. -- http://www.netbks.org/programming/general-programming-programming/emerging-f...
