Research Paper: Why Do Companies Create and How Do They Succeed with a Vendor-Led Open Source Foundation
Abstract: Vendor-led open source foundations are open source foundations led by software vendors rather than individual developers or end-user organizations. Our research investigates why vendors create or join such foundations, and how these foundations succeed. We conducted exploratory single-case study research, with the LF Edge foundation as our case. We collected qualitative data in the […]Abstract: Vendor-led open source foundations are open source foundations led by software vendors rather than individual developers or end-user organizations.

Research Paper: A Systematic Analysis of Problems in Open Collaborative Data Engineering
Abstract: Collaborative workflows are common in open-source software development. They reduce individual costs and improve the quality of work results. Open data shares many characteristics with open-source software as it can be used, modified, and redistributed by anyone, for free. However, in contrast to open-source software engineering, collaborative data engineering on open data lacks a […]

Research Paper: The Business Impact of Inner Source and How to Quantify It
Abstract: Inner source software development is the practice of using open source practices for firm-internal software development. Practitioner reports have shown that inner source can increase flexibility and reduce costs. Despite the potential benefits of inner source, there has been little research on its impact on businesses and their processes. To address this gap, we […]

Research Paper: Problems, Solutions, and Success Factors in the openMDM User-Led Open Source Consortium
Abstract: Open-source software (OSS) development offers organizations an alternative to purchasing proprietary software or commissioning custom software. In one form of OSS development, organizations develop the software they need in collaboration with other organizations. If the software is used by the organizations to operate their business, such collaborations can lead to what we call “user-led […]Abstract: Open-source software (OSS) development offers organizations an alternative to purchasing proprietary software or commissioning custom software.

Research Paper: A Solution for Automated Grading of QDA Homework
Abstract: Teaching research methods is of vital importance in any curriculum that prepares students for an academic career. While the theoretical frameworks underpinning qualitative theory building research can be adequately conveyed through lecturing and text books, experiential learning plays a particularly important role in understanding the challenges and best practices for the analysis methods for […]Abstract: Teaching research methods is of vital importance in any curriculum that prepares students for an academic career.
