TAILIEUCHUNG - 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. | Master Thesis Software Engineering Thesis no: MSE-2004:28 August 2004 Identifying and Analyzing Knowledge Management Aspects of Practices in Open Source Software Development Michal Przemyslaw Rudzki, Fredrik Jonson School of Engineering Blekinge Institute of Technology Box 520 SE - 372 25 Ronneby Sweden This thesis is submitted to the School of Engineering at Blekinge Institute of Technology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Software Engineering.

Open source projects are often perceived as infor- mal, even unmanaged. Still, they appear to manage knowledge acquisi- tion 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. The thesis consists of a literature study of knowledge management theory and open source development, resulting in the analysis of open source practices from a knowledge management perspective. Currently the field of knowledge management maintains several, par- tially opposing doctrines. Apart from the business aspect, two main schools of thought are present. The commodity school approaches knowl- edge as a universal truth, an object that can be separated from the knower. The community school emphasises knowledge as something in- ternal to the human mind, but which can be shared as experiences .
