Since there has been some expressed interest in Free Software and Open
Source (FOSS, or FLOS) within the ICT virtual community of the region, I'm
submitting the following links to papers related to it in the hope that
those interested will have the time to read some of these things.
Note that I do not necessarily agree 100% with these papers, and questions
and comments regarding the papers - while they can be discussed - should
not believe that I am the original author and that the stance is that of my
own.
That said, the following papers may be found at the link below:
'Introduction: FLOSS at Large', by Yuwei Lin
'Opening the sources of accountability', by Shay David
'FLOSS developers as a social formation', by Frauke Lehmann
'Contextualising knowledge�making in Linux user groups', by Yuwei Lin
