Great new features in Saros
| July 4, 2011 | Posted by Karl Beecher under Saros |
Another release of Saros was made last Friday (version 11.7.1). We’re pretty pleased with the new features, added as a direct result of user feedback and requests. The first is a partial sharing feature. When sharing a project, you now have the option to choose a subset of files instead of the sending the whole… read more

Saros Paints a Pretty Picture

Version 11.1.28 of Saros introduces a major new feature that has been bubbling away deep in the Saros development labs for a while now: the distributed whiteboard.

To summarise the prior writings from my doctoral thesis: I’ve shown how there are both notable differences and similarities between certain measures of FLOSS repositories (such as number of contributors attracted, rate of contributions, complexity control work, etc.) The pattern of similarities and differences that emerged clearly differentiated one group (containing Debian, GNOME, and KDE)… read more

As an administrator on a SourceForge-based project, I was recently sent this email by SourceForge (SF): SourceForge has project settings to help you comply with regulations governing distribution of software to persons from certain countries (aka Export Controls). We’ve had some recent questions about these settings, so have sent out this note to all administrators… read more
The Catalyst Effect in FLOSS Repositories
| April 26, 2010 | Posted by Karl Beecher under Research |
In the course of my PhD studies, I proposed that when a project makes a transition from one repository to another, you could expect to see significant changes to a project’s evolutionary characteristics. Indeed, I covered this in earlier posts, discussing the transition from SourceForge to Debian. Here, we saw that the number of developers… read more
