This Talk in One Slide The Onion Model proposed a model for developers to join individual projects Ecosystems change the project landscape Similar social norms and technical requirements across projects in an ecosystem lower barrier to entry We examine how an ecosystem alters the ways in which developers join projects 3 September 7, 2011

- 31. Implications? Open Source is kinda like an onion, but for the most part it isn’t There is a need for project stewards as well as code warriors Common Infrastructure enables ecosystem migration Ecosystems have changed our views When hiring question should not be “What have you done on project X”? Rather “Show me everything that you’ve done on Github.” StackExchange for example accrues karma across all boards For researching Is socialization process taking place through social media? Are layers of the onion model being created outside of traditional Software Engineering artifacts Is karma/credits already known intrinsically by the community and leading to following? 18 September 7, 2011
Editor's Notes
- Spoiler Alert: We found little evidence of the onion model in our data. We did, however, find lots of other interesting things
- Remember to say that “we are scoping to some of the more novel findings in our work. Our research questions and hypotheses that drove our work can be found in the paper, along with the stats that go with it.”
- Onion modelFirst socialization then technical contributionHowever, the immigration model is based on stand alone projectsToday, the norm is well-connected ecosystemsNo findings as of yet on socialization processes in an ecosystem
- We have all of the code, mailing lists, and bugs for each of these projects.The people were unified across projects through a variety of methods – email address was easiest. In many cases we needed to work with experts in the community to get the resolution we needed.
- The centers of the circles indicate the number of developers working on the project.The lines indicate the number of developers shared between the projects.Not all lines are shown because it is a clique, and that would be a very messy and unpretty graph
- After discovering that there is a significant migration we wanted to actually examine the onion model and how it works within a project and ecosystem.These are samples of the five different models of joining that we found in the system.Note, we’re only looking at progression patterns of people who eventually became committers.
- Notes: This only covers people who eventually became committers
- Notes: This only covers people who eventually became committersNext we evaluated progressions across the ecosystem – we basically looked at contributions as though everything in the ecosystem was a single projctWe start to see a trend here, but it’s just across six project. If we had the data to extend it more then we might see more people fall in to the technical-social patterns
- We did a simple regression that mapped together activity on the mailing lists and bug trackers to relate to commits.
- That’s Hungarian for “Who are these people?”Shuíshìzhèxiērén?
