- The scholar will work with an interdisciplinary team from Nonprofit and Voluntary Action Studies, Public Policy, Computer Science, Anthropology, and Communications at UMass Amherst, UC Davis, and the University of Washington.
- In this project we seek to discern the socio-technical structural and governance conditions under which Internet-based freely downloadable open-source software (OSS) projects are successful including both independent project development and incubation in nonprofit foundations.
- The overall goal is to advance knowledge of how to sustain voluntary contributions to the OSS commons for the ongoing development of OSS. The data availability creates major methodological opportunities at the intersections of machine learning, natural language processing, longitudinal data, institutional analysis, and the multi-tiered study of nonprofit governance and the governance of individual OSS projects that associate with these foundations.
- Coordinate and collaborate with the UC Davis team's postdoctoral research associate on subprojects defined through the processes above.
