[Detlef Borchers]

und First Monday ist wieder mal dreussen. Dieser wissenschaftliche Artike=
l
beschreibt die Linux und Open Source-Entwicklung unter soziologischen
Gesichtspunkten. Plus ein paar Grafiken.=20

Zusammenfassend f=FCr Nicht-Lesen-Wollende:

>>In the Linux development, the Schumpeterian creative destruction destro=
ys pieces of code, but competence and
experience are reorganized with little waste. In this sense, one could ar=
gue
that the Linux development model and the Silicon Valley innovation model
(Kenney, 2000) have similar characteristics. As motives and values emerge=
 and
become articulated within specific social contexts, one could expect that=
 the
cultures of Silicon Valley and Linux development communities are relative=
ly easy
to integrate without major conflicts. The main difference, of course, is =
that
Silicon Valley has a venture capital driven entrepreneurial culture, wher=
eas the
economic sphere has been relatively invisible in the Linux development. T=
his
tension is actively being managed by the Open Source Initiative (c.f. Ray=
mond,
1999)<<
