Distributed Cathedrals vs. Global Bazaars: Global Distance and the Open Source Paradox
HuFo Invited Talk
John Noll
Software development projects involving teams that are located in different locations and timezones often experience communication and collaboration barriers.
The conventional approach to overcoming these barriers involves interventions, such as face-to-face "kick-off" meetings and video conferencing, intended to reduce the effects of geographic distance, temporal separation, and cultural differences on both formal and informal communication.
In contrast, however, numerous open source projects, involving hundreds or thousands of globally distributed contributors, have successfully created highly valuable products using rudimentary collaboration technology. In many cases, the key contributors to these projects have never met face-to-face. How is this possible?
This talk will explore the similarities and differences between conventional global software development projects and open source projects, in an attempt to identify how open source projects address the difficulties introduced by global distance, and what we might learn from these examples that could inform conventional global software development.
