Das Forschungskonzept der Professur für Open-Source-Software an der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität
Die leitende Forschungsfrage unserer Arbeit lautet: Wie funktioniert “offene Zusammenarbeit” (“open collaboration”), wie wir sie in der Open-Source-Softwareentwicklung und anderen offenen Projekten erleben? Unter offener Zusammenarbeit verstehen wir Projekte, in denen Konsensbildung und gemeinschaftliche Entscheidungsfindung zum Alltag gehören, ohne dass dies von einer einzelnen Person bestimmt werden könnte.
