Abstract

There is a lot of research anticipating a "Free, Libre and Open Source Software" (FLOSS) development process and recurring characteristics of FLOSS projects have been discussed by various authors. Research suggests that a unique FLOSS development approach does not exist and there is a family of different development processes instead. Pattern Languages have been used to describe distinctive and common features of processes. In this paper, we identify four FLOSS development patterns derived from related work and discussion about FLOSS in the communities. Building on that, we propose methods to verify the patterns.
