Hi list!

I was just pointed to the book 

  Sowe, Sulayman K., Ioannis Stamelos & Ioannis Samoladas (eds.),
  2007, Emerging Free and Open Source Software practices, IGI
  Publishing, USA

Some Google results:

  Project infrastructure and software repositories are now widely
  available at low cost with easy extraction, providing a foundational
  base to conduct detailed cyber-archeology at a scale not open to
  researchers before. Emerging Free and Open Source Software Practices
  provides a collection of empirical research acting as a focal point
  to the status of these repositories and infrastructures along with
  the F/OSS project. Emerging Free and Open Source Software Practices
  presents a framework and state-of-the-art references on F/OSS
  projects, reporting on past and on-going case studies of projects
  covering a wide range of F/OSS applications and domains. This book
  postulates trends in the evolution of software practices and
  solutions to the challenges ubiquitous nature free and open source
  software provides.

The book seems also to be on Google Books:

Sounds interesting. Anyone read the book?
