Refactoring from 9 to 5? What and when employees and volunteers contribute to OSS
In this paper we characterize the contributions made by employees (developers that work for GitHub, the company) and volunteers (developers that use GitHub, the platform) to OSS projects maintained by GitHub (the company) on GitHub (the platform). By mining activities performed in five well-known co...

What and when employees and volunteers contribute to OSS DIAS, Luiz Felipe BARBOSA, Caio PINTO, Gustavo STEINMACHER, Igor FONSECA, Baldoino RIBEIRO, Márcio TREUDE, Christoph DA COSTA, Daniel Alencar In this paper we characterize the contributions made by employees (developers that work for GitHub, the company) and volunteers (developers that use GitHub, the platform) to OSS projects maintained by GitHub (the company) on GitHub (the platform). By mining activities performed in five well-known company-owned OSS projects, we investigate what they do and when they do it. We found that the majority of the volunteers' contributions are related to reengineering (e.g., refactoring), while employees focus more on management (e.g., documentation). When it comes to the working hours, we found that contributions are made mostly from 9am-5pm, even for the volunteers. 2020-08-01T07:00:00Z text application/pdf https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/sis_research/8909 info:doi/10.1109/VL/HCC50065.2020.9127205 https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/context/sis_research/article/9912/viewcontent/vlhcc20.pdf http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems eng Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University Employees Open Source Software Volunteers Software Engineering |
