[Air-L] Open source literature

[Sharon Haleva Amir]

Hi Angela, you may want to get in touch with Dr. Gabriella Coleman from NYU.
Lately she worked on a book dealing with hackers as well as the free and
open source software. As an anthropologist she has an interest in the open
source programmers' community, their motives and aims. 
This is her webpage -

Good luck, Sharon

Subject: [Air-L] Open source literature

Hello all,

I have been asked for literature suggestions by a colleague with a 
budding interest in research on open source, particularly in how the 
community of developers/contributors maintains a collaborative 
environment and in resistance to open source. I would like to help him 
but alas, I am not overly familiar with specific research on that topic. 
But I am always impressed at the helpfulness and willingness to share on 
this list, so I thought this would be a good place to ask. Does anyone 
have suggestions for good sources to get started? I would gladly pass 
them along--anything would be much appreciated

Thank you!
