Trust issues in open source software development

Heikki Orsila, Jaco Geldenhuys, Anna Ruokonen, Imed Hammouda

Abstract

Open source software and the associated development model holds great promise, but the issue of trust is a major challenge. This applies to companies wishing to adopt the open source model but also within open source projects. We investigate this issue by data mining open source repositories to study two related phenomena: update propagation and distributed version control.
