TY - Generic T1 - Effective work practices for FLOSS development: A model and propositions T2 - Proceedings of the 38th Hawai'i International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) Y1 - 2005 A1 - Kevin Crowston A1 - Annabi, Hala A1 - James Howison A1 - Masango, Chengetai AB - We review the literature on Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) development and on software development, distributed work and teams more generally to develop a theoretical model to explain the performance of FLOSS teams. The proposed model is based on Hackman’s [1] model of effectiveness of work teams, with coordination theory [2] and collective mind [3] to extend Hackman’s model by elaborating team practices relevant to effectiveness in software development. We propose a set of propositions to guide further research.
