This page is very much in early development
OSS Watch case studies provide examples of projects that we have worked with to develop a clear understanding of their status, practices, needs and aspirations. Often a consultancy is involved and the resultant QA'd document is useful for OSS Watch and our customers. The benefit for a project is raised visibility.
This describes the information required from a project to be able to perform a case study
- what kind of visibility is wanted (developers or users)
- sustainability plans
- project status
- current community membership and structure (stakeholders)
- number of developers
- potential for collaboration between users
- potential for collaboration between developers
- ease of access and contribution
- governance model
- future plans
- current and proposed funding streams
- collaboration infrastructure (are basic tools in place)
