[Air-L] Open source literature

[Angela Adkins]

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!
