“…To account for their representation in our training corpus, we included institutional statements from not only ASF projectlevel email exchanges among participants, but also ASF policy documents. The supplementary set of Institutional Statements included 328 policies, which were compiled from ASF policy documents (e.g., Apache Cookbook, PPMC Guide, Incubator Policy, etc), in an economic analysis of the ASF Incubator's policies [38].…”

Open Source Software (OSS) forms much of the fabric of our digital society, especially successful and sustainable ones. But many OSS projects do not become sustainable, resulting in abandonment and even risks for the world's digital infrastructure. Prior work has looked at the reasons for this mainly from two very different perspectives. In software engineering, the focus has been on understanding success and sustainability from the socio-technical perspective: the OSS programmers' day-to-day activities and the artifacts they create. In institutional analysis, on the other hand, emphasis has been on institutional designs (e.g., policies, rules, and norms) that structure governance. Even though each is necessary for a comprehensive understanding of OSS projects, the connection and interaction between the two approaches have been barely explored.In this paper, we make the first effort toward understanding OSS project sustainability using a dual-view analysis, by combining institutional analysis with
