Carrots and Rainbows: Motivation and Social Practice in Open Source Software Development (2012, methodology): “A set of rather simple tools, such as concurrent versioning systems and mailing lists, are used for coordination at the level of information exchange (Lee and Cole, 2003).”
The Emergence of Governance in an Open Source Community (2007, background): “The literature on open source communities tends to assume that these communities operate in a meritocratic manner (e.g. Lee and Cole, 2003; Kogut and Meitu, 2001; Raymond, 1999).”

From communities of practice to mycorrhizae (2013, methodology): ““In the Linux development community we observe a peer review process as a structured approach to generating criticism of existing versions, evaluating these criticisms, and eliminating ‘error,’ while retaining those solutions that cann ot be falsified.” ( Lee & Cole, 2003, p. 639 )”
The Role of Participation Architecture in Growing Sponsored Open Source Communities (2008, background): “…software communities collectively produce software that is freely and publicly available – creating in effect a shared public good that can be used for either public or private purposes (von Hippel and von Krogh, 2003; Lee and Cole, 2003; O’Mahony, 2003, Murray and O’Mahony, 2007; Markus, 2007).”
