[Air-L] Github and corporate software development

[Jim Herbsleb]

Colleagues and I are investigating how both professional and casual programmers use GitHub and its social media features to manage their projects, recruit talent, discover user needs, build technical skills, and manage their "micro supply chains." A short, practitioner-oriented piece will appear in IEEE Software next year.  Here's a preprint for any who might be interested:
