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?
