COMMUNITY-BASED OPEN SOURCE The Phenomenon and Research Opportunities
Community-based open source (community source) development has emerged as a new way of developing enterprise applications, leading to a unique type of open source practice involving collaboration from multiple organizations in a virtual environment. In this paper, we introduce the concept and motivation of community source and address several research directions in community source under multiple perspectives. We examine a real world case, the Kuali community source project, to help better understand this new phenomenon. The long term research objectives are discussed at the end of the paper. This paper facilitates a general understanding of the emerging community source development landscape. We believe that the issues presented in this paper can attract more researchers to study this new area and help organizations make better decisions in IT investments.
