“…This is not an irrelevant implication, as according to [10], "bugs reported by core members are solved more rapidly when more duplicates are found [...]", and according to [3], core developers perform core development activities, while peripheral developers solve smaller issues. We found confirmation from the research in [15], that the combination "Software Developer"↔''Project Manager", is the most common within projects. Our angle was a bit different, in that we focused on the developers -getting typical roles combinations within projects, and not on projects -getting the most relevant combinations of roles within projects.…”

“…Our angle was a bit different, in that we focused on the developers -getting typical roles combinations within projects, and not on projects -getting the most relevant combinations of roles within projects. This meant that in [15], also single project developers were mined. In our analysis, we found the importance of "All-handpersons": our interpretation is that they bring more multidisciplinary competence to projects.…”

In Open Source Software (OSS) development, the so-called linchpin developers are those that contribute contemporaneously to several projects, contributing to keeping the community tied together. While such developers have been identified in previous research, their importance within the OSS community has not been widely discussed. The main objective of this work is to analyze their "weaving" role across projects. With this aim, we mined software repositories, using text mining techniques as log-likehood ratio and co-word analysis, further building social networks of developers within emerging communities. The findings show that linchpin developers generally attach in a preferential way to projects in a single specific domain. They tend to be more "project managers", and "allhands-persons", meaning that they bring multidisciplinary experience across projects. They tend to cover the same role across projects. They generally have high centrality in their projects, and contribute to create projects that ease the transition from a fragmented projects community to a more core-periphery community.

“…Although there may be few surveys on OSS success, many organizations, companies as well as individuals have adopted evaluation methods along with their specific needs to determine which software to use. According to user classification, the OSS evaluation can be generally divided into three perspectives: user, developer, and tester (Cheng and Guo 2019;Yuan et al 2010). In particular, due to prior works and our research on employees from one famous company, users generally choose OSS that meets their functional requirements.…”

“…Developers generally develop their own software that meets their requirements and exist little or no license risk (Lerner and Tirole 2005;Fershtman and Gandal 2004). Tester is generally a third party, mainly testing whether OSS has a significant impact on company and society (Yuan et al 2010).…”

In recent years, the widespread applications of open-source software (OSS) have brought great convenience for software developers. However, it is always facing unavoidable security risks, such as open-source code defects and security vulnerabilities. To find out the OSS risks in time, we carry out an empirical study to identify the indicators for evaluating the OSS. To achieve a comprehensive understanding of the OSS assessment, we collect 56 papers from prestigious academic venues (such as IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, DBLP, and Google Scholar) in the past 21 years. During the process of the investigation, we first identify the main concerns for selecting OSS and distill five types of commonly used indicators to assess OSS. We then conduct a comparative analysis to discuss how these indicators are used in each surveyed study and their differences. Moreover, we further undertake a correlation analysis between these indicators and uncover 13 confirmed conclusions and four cases with controversy occurring in these studies. Finally, we discuss several possible applications of these conclusions, which are insightful for the research on OSS and software supply chain.
