Research: FLOSS hackers between company and community

The University of Koblenz-Landau (Germany) is looking for participants for a research study revolving around the job situation of (professional) open source developers. The goal of the study is to gain insights on the effect of developers' double commitment to the community and the organization. The study is aimed at employed software developers who also work with open source code and therefore are to some extent dependant on the open source community.

The study already received support by several organizations including the Open Source Business Foundation (OSBF), the European Commission's Joinup project and various open source projects (e.g. Eclipse) and experts (e.g. former Open Source Director at Oracle Gilles Gravier)!

As incentives, participants will be able to contribute to social projects for free and can subscribe to receive the research results. For more information, click here:
