The basic question is the following: Since Open Source projects are not driven using authoritative power from the top but rather grant each participant much freedom in their choice of development tools, software development practices and interaction in the development process, then how do Open Source projects adopt new tools and processes which affect the whole project? The widespread switch to decentralized version control tool Git is a good example of such project-wide innovations. The methodology to answer this question is qualitative using Grounded Theory methodology on data from 13 Open Source projects which were studied in their e-mail communication for one year. The main result of the thesis is a set of concepts, which explain important aspects of innovation introduction. For instance the role of hosting for innovations is explained and spl</pre> Christopher Özbek 2011-01-29T14:38:12 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.science.opensource.community/398 <pre>might be intresting http://www.realitysandwich.com/ten_best_p2p_books_2010 </pre> josx 2011-01-12T11:38:47 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.science.opensource.community/397 <pre>Timothy Cook wants you to use Dropbox to sync and share files online and across computers.
