Dissertation: Measuring Inner Source Collaboration (Dr. Maximilian Capraro)
Abstract: Inner source (IS) is the use of open source software development practices and the establishment of open source-like communities within an organization. The organization may still develop proprietary software but internally opens up its development. IS promises to resolve problems of traditional software development by easing software reuse and enabling parties within an organization […]Abstract: Inner source (IS) is the use of open source software development practices and the establishment of open source-like communities within an organization.

Dissertation: Corporate Open Source Governance of Software Supply Chains (Dr. Nikolay Harutyunyan)
Abstract: Today most software products incorporate free/libre and open source software (FLOSS) components. FLOSS components are used in development infrastructures, generic and non-differentiating features and functionalities, web browsers, databases, and operating systems. Some software products are built on top of FLOSS frameworks. Open source software usage often ensures lower cost, higher quality, and quick availability, […]Abstract: Today most software products incorporate free/libre and open source software (FLOSS) components.

Research Paper: Managing Your Open Source Supply Chain—Why and How? (IEEE Computer Column)
Abstract: More than 90% of software products include open source components, most of which are not directly added by your own developers. Instead, they are an inseparable part of the software supply chains that virtually all companies depend on. This article covers the related risks of ungoverned open source use and provides industry best practices […]

Research Paper: Managing Episodic Volunteers in Free/Libre/Open Source Software Communities (TSE)
Abstract: We draw on the concept of episodic volunteering (EV) from the general volunteering literature to identify practices for managing EV in free/libre/open source software (FLOSS) communities. Infrequent but ongoing participation is widespread, but the practices that community managers are using to manage EV, and their concerns about EV, have not been previously documented. We […]

Research Paper: Challenges of Tracking and Documenting Open Source Dependencies in Products: A Case Study (OSS 2020)
Abstract: Software vendors need to manage the dependencies of the open source components used in their products. Without this management, license compliance would be impossible, export restrictions could not be maintained, and security vulnerabilities would remain unknown to the vendor. The management of these dependencies has grown in an ad-hoc fashion in most companies. As […]
