Socialization in an Open Source Software Community: A Socio-Technical Analysis (2005, background): “In particular, the unique challenges of geographically distributed development projects have attracted significant attention (e.g. Grinter et al., 1999; Herbsleb et al., 2000).”
Global software development (2009, unknown): “This is supported by the findings of Herbsleb et al.(9) that modification requests (MRs) involving multiple sites took 2.”
Group awareness in distributed software development (2004, methodology): “The goal of the NetBSD project is to produce a free and redistributable UNIX-like operating system.”
Challenges and barriers in virtual teams: a literature review (2020, background): “Moreover, intra-team conflict causes problems that result in delays in work progress [8] and resolution of work issues [103].”
Team Knowledge and Coordination in Geographically Distributed Software Development (2007, background): “Consequently, we anticipate that geographic dispersion hinders coordination in software development [21, 38, 39].”
Effects of four computer-mediated communications channels on trust development (2002, background): “Workers may also change the nature of collaborations to avoid the need for close coordination [ 7 ] or may simply avoid collaborating with others altogether, thus limiting their productive capacity [19].”
Introducing instant messaging and chat in the workplace (2002, background): “split across sites, in comparison to comparable work where all activities are conducted at a single site [7].”
E-mail as a Source and Symbol of Stress (2011, background): “When assigned to geographically distributed teams (Herbsleb and Mockus 2003, Herbsleb et al. 2000, Hinds and Bailey 2003) and to multiple teams (O’Leary et al. 2008, Mortensen et al. 2007), people are even more likely to use e-mail to coordinate.”
