Introducing Innovations into Open Source projects
This page provides access to all documents resulting from the thesis "Introducing Innovations into Open Source Projects" by
Christopher Oezbek.
Innovator's Guide
This guide should help everybody who is interested in achieving changes in an Open Source project.
It is particularly aimed at medium-sized project of 5 to 30
members and complements the dissertation from a practical perspective.
- The guide can be found in Section 8.3 in the dissertation below.
