Hi Graeme,

oh that is awesome. Would you mind to sent it directly to me when you found a pdf of the document or the link?

Best Frederik

My masters thesis was basically this. Motivations of contributors within gated and non gated open source ecosystems. Something like that. Maybe I can dig it out. I think it got published somewhere insignificant.

Hello OCA contributors,

I forward a message from a student from Belgium, currently studying the governance of open source projects. The OCA is a Case Study for his master thesis.

Would you help him? His findings will certainly help us understand how we currently work together and give us ideas to improve this together!

Many thanks!

Dear OSS Community,

To introduce myself, I’m Dylan Kaekelbergh, master student at KU Leuven and fascinated by OSS Communities.
Software quality and technology thrives due to the effort and contributions made by Open-Source Software communities. The way that a community of volunteers comes together and work towards a shared vision poses an interesting field of study. Understanding this more deeply can provide insights to help more OSS projects graduate and deduct significant best practices.
As part of a Master Thesis, I’m conducting a qualitative empirical research on Governance configurations in OSS Communities to deeper explore this topic.
The study has the aim to explore the relationship between motivations of contributors and the governance configurations that the communities upholds. Additionally, the study explores if multiple governance configurations can exist within a community and how these contribute to the success of a community.

At this moment, I’m looking for OSS Community members and contributors of the Odoo Community Association to participate in a one hour (max. 1,5h) interview. The interviews will be conducted over a period of 4 weeks.
Each interview response will be treated confidentially and will be processed in the end paper anonymously.
Each interview will be conducted via Microsoft Teams. (If preferred F2F interviews in KU Leuven Brussels can also be organized)

Thank you in advance for assisting in this research.

Best Regards,  Dylan

Har har probably work for the Governance Working Group. But yes that sounds very valuable. In order to give a multidimensional feedback, we should probably be at least 2 persons participating in that meeting. I will put the organization of that on my Agenda and discuss it with Daniel and Joel
