OSS Myths and Facts
CoRR(2024)
摘要
We have selected six myths about the OSS community and have tested whether
they are true or not. The purpose of this report is to identify the lessons
that can be learned from the development style of the OSS community and the
issues that need to be addressed in order to achieve better Employee Experience
(EX) in software development within companies and organizations. The OSS
community has been led by a group of skilled developers known as hackers. We
have great respect for the engineers and activities of the OSS community and
aim to learn from them. On the other hand, it is important to recognize that
having high expectations can sometimes result in misunderstandings. When there
are excessive expectations and concerns, misunderstandings (referred to as
myths) can arise, particularly when individuals who are not practitioners rely
on hearsay to understand the practices of practitioners. We selected the myths
to be tested based on a literature review and interviews. These myths are held
by software development managers and customers who are not direct participants
in the OSS community. We answered questions about each myth through: 1) Our own
analysis of repository data, 2) A literature survey of data analysis conducted
by previous studies, or 3) A combination of the two approaches.
