Hei,
I'm looking forward to give back actually. I've got a blog where I've bee=
n posting a few pieces on my recent work.  The name's a bit posh, but see=
med like a good idea at the time.
 https://myopensource.blog/
There's not much yet,  but I have a couple of topics drafted. One on unde=
rstanding who stakeholders of a development community are and another on =
the dual roles of developers in hybrid situations.
Once I get the Qt/GTK+/Eclipse/Netbneans text ready for submission to a r=
&d management journal I'll continue writing the blog.
Best wishes,
Hanna

I see this as a branch of anthropology.

NetBeans has been very kind and responded to such inquires throughout
the years and in turn we traditionally get such requests.

I don't believe we learned much from this, we just gained goodwill in
some academic niche.

So your report will be out of date when you publish it? I
recommend you go with the way NetBeans will be when you publish
the report, i.e., an Apache project, which means "2 Open for any
accredited individual" for all the categories.

Hi Gj,
Thanks for the reply, what you said is actually very interesting.
Aim of our research case will then be to record the state of
affairs before the transformation.

Could somebody help me with the questions please?

Kindly,
Hanna

NetBeans is currently moving to Apache and all the Apache

Dear recipients,
I am currently doing research on governance practises of
Eclipse, Netbeans, Qt and GTK+ projects. So far my team has
observed online documents in search of policies and
guidelines. However,  using several viewpoints would
increase validity of our results.

We would greatly appreciate if somebody from within the
developer organisation could contribute to our case study by
answering the following questions:

A Who can contribute to software code?
B Who can accept code contributions?
C Who can impact prioritization of work requests?
D Who can verify defect reports?
E Who can test code contributions?

F Who knows about the integration process of code contributions?
G Who knows what is on the product roadmap?
H Who knows timing and content of releases?
I Who knows priorities of work issues?

These should be answered as:

0 Closed from outsiders
1 Open for only an exclusive set of people
2 Open for any accredited individual
3 Open for anybody

I greatly value your contribution. Should you have any
questions, please don=E2=80=99t hesitate to ask.

Kind regards,
