TY - Generic T1 - Social dynamics of FLOSS team communication across channels T2 - Proceedings of the IFIP 2.13 Working Conference on Open Source Software (OSS) Y1 - 2008 A1 - Wiggins, Andrea A1 - James Howison A1 - Kevin Crowston KW - FLOSS AB - This paper extends prior investigation into the social dynamics of free and open source (FLOSS) teams by examining the methodological questions arising from research using social network analysis on open source projects. We evaluate the validity of data sampling by examining dynamics of communication centralization, which vary across multiple communication channels. We also introduce a method for intensity-based smoothing in dynamic social network analysis.
