Identifying and Analyzing Knowledge Management Aspects of Practices in Open Source Software Development
In this thesis we explore how knowledge management is performed in
open source projects. Open source projects are often perceived as informal,
even unmanaged. Still, they appear to manage knowledge acquisition
and sharing sufficiently well to successfully develop software in such
a distributed environment as the Internet. This thesis aims to explore
that apparent contradiction, and thus complement the currently limited
research in this field.
