Hi all. Following leads on community development after reading Clay Shirky's "Here comes everybody - the power of organizing without organizations" I came across with the pdf file - "The Community role in openSUSE life-cycle" by Dinar Valeev.

Being an openSUSE fan - for its qualities and concern in graphical environment, I would like to find out more about the role of the community in product development as a personal investigation and a probable issue for master in MKT thesis.

Does anybody care to help / point directions where to find documentation / evidences about this matter? I realize that this is a big issue -not a novelty, though - and my proposition is probably a blur! Still...

Thanks all. Rodolfo.

Hi, I suggest you to read "Managing Firm-Sponsored Open Source Communities - A Case Study on Novell and The openSUSE Project" by Jan Fredrik (Master Thesis 2008), if you haven't looked at it yet.
