Free/open source software (F/OSS) products and processes (development
methods and practices) are being adopted on a global basis throughout
the software community. However, it is unclear whether the enthusiastic
adoption of F/OSS processes is justified or not. Specifically, it is
unclear what processes and practices are specific to, or characteristic
of the development, deployment, use, or evolution of F/OSS systems. This
special issue of Software Process - Improvement and Practice seeks
papers that investigate F/OSS processes from a variety of perspectives
and approaches. We are particularly interested in empirical studies of
F/OSS processes found in different F/OSS projects, as well as studies
that employ tools and techniques for studying, mining, or modeling F/OSS
processes through analysis of F/OSS source code, development artifacts,
computer-mediated communications (public discussion forums, chat
archives, Wikis/Blogs), Web sites, and public repositories.
For a listing of potential topics of interest, see
http://www.sei.cmu.edu/community/call-opensource.html
Manuscripts should be in the range of 6000 words or 30 pages, double-spaced
and with figures included. Prospective authors are advised to consult the
guidelines "For Authors" at the SPIP Web site at Wiley-Interscience,
http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/jabout/15482/ForAuthors.html
Authors are also encouraged, where appropriate, to consider prior studies
of F/OSS published in the Information Systems Journal 11(4), 2001, 12(1),
2002; IEEE Proceedings-Software 149(1), 2002; Research Policy 32(7), 2003;
Systemes d'Information et Management 8(1), 2003; IEEE Software 32(1), 2004;
the online proceedings of the 1st through 4th International Workshop on Open
Source Software Engineering or the MIT Open Source research paper repository.
