Evangelia’s thesis available online

Posted on by Luis Villa

I got an email today from Evangelia Berdou, who came to a couple guadecs to meet, greet, and pick GNOME-y brains. Turns out she’s published the fruits of her GNOME research- her PhD thesis. I haven’t had time to read it yet, but I’m sure it is interesting- she had a habit of asking very perceptive questions :) And it won an award for best thesis, so presumably there is something there- at least the academics liked it :)

  1. Recent research suggests that much of the core development work on open-source projects is done by paid developers. Is this a bad thing? The answer is in the data. I just finished reading Evangelia Berdou’s PhD thesis “Managing the Bazaar: Commercialization and peripheral participation in mature, community-led Free/Open source software projects,” and highly recommend it to anyone seeking to understand how open-source communities operate, especially in light of the increasing encroachment of commercial interests into open-source development communities. Dr. Berdou looks at paid vs. unpaid
