OpenStack开源社区中商业组织的参与模式

2000年以来，开源软件取得了显著进展，展示出一种以用户创新为驱动且低成本高质量的新型软件开发方式.越来越多的商业组织参与到开源项目中，期望利用开源软件及其优势实现自身的商业目标.由于开源软件开发方式与传统的软件工程方法存在显著差异，为了加入开源社区，商业组织必须要对自身原有的软件开发方式、业务模式等做出调整.在这种情况下，一个亟待解决的问题是商业组织应当采取怎样的参与模式才能有效融入开源社区.为此，本文进行了如下三个方面的研究：1.采用雪球采样方法对OpenStack相关的文本数据进行收集，为定性分析提供数据基础；2.借鉴扎根理论，通过对所收集数据的过滤和归纳，总结出不同商业组织参与OpenStack的模式；3.在此基础上，提炼出四种更具一般性的参与模式，为商业组织参与开源项目提供经验参考与决策支持.

How Commercial Organizations Participate in OpenStack Open Source Projects

Since 2000, open source software has made remarkable progress, demonstrated a new,low-cost and high-quality software development approachdrivened by user innovation. In order to use open source software and its advantages, more and more commercial organizations participate in open source projects.However, there are a lot of differences between the open source software development approaches and the traditional software engineering methods. If commercial organizations want to join the open source community, they must make some adjustments in their own original software development approach and business model.In this case, an urgent problem need to be solvedimmediately is what involvement model the commercial organizations should adopt to achieve their goalsof joining the open source community.In this paper, we collect project text data from the Internet as a basis for qualitative analysis by the way of snowball-sampling collection mechanisms;then learning from the Classical Grounded Theory,we summarize different commercial organizations'' involvement model in open source projects through filtering and analyzing these data, and finally,we extract four kinds of general involvement model which can provide decision supports and experience references to those commercial organizations who want to join the open source software projects.
