Open Source Development: About Community and Sponsored Projects

,----[ Quote ]
| The paper suggests that ongoing relationships between the sponsor and the 
| community face a trade-off between appropriating returns from the commons 
| versus providing incentives for external participants to join the community. 
| As a matter of fact unilateral decisions and legal obligations make difficult 
| recruiting contributors. On the contrary governance mechanisms enabling the 
| sponsor to determine project’s evolution through pluralistic support are 
| definitely of help in this respect.      
| 
| Apache, the Collaborative Software Initiative, Eclipse, OpenOffice.org or 
| SAKAI seem to follow very different approaches to community building, 
| technology transfer and fostering open source ecosystems.
