Geographical movement of mailing list participants
Abstract of talk.s Large-scale software projects are developed by a large group of individuals. Open-source software (OSS) projects are usually developed by individuals all across the world. Do developers move to another country and continue work on the OSS project? Do they work on the OSS project in their spare time while on a holiday or business trip? Do developers from an OSS project show a certain pattern of geographical movement?
We have conducted a preliminary study in which we track the location of the mailing list participants in the GNOME Display Manager mailing list. This talk explores our approach and findings.
