Off to a Good Start: Dynamic Contribution Patterns and Technical Success in an OSS Newcomer’s Early Career

چکیده
Attracting and retaining newcomers are critical aspects for OSS projects, as such projects rely on newcomers’ sustainable contributions. Considerable effort has been made to help by identifying overcoming the barriers during onboarding process. However, most eventually fail drop out of their even after successful onboarding. Meanwhile, it long known that individuals’ early career stages profoundly impact long-term success. careers less investigated in SE research. In this paper, we sought develop an empirical understanding relationships between dynamic contribution patterns technical To achieve goal, compiled a dataset data from 54 large under three different ecosystems analyzed with time series analysis other statistical techniques. Our analyses yield rich findings. The correlations several success were identified. general, being consistent persistent is positively associated While these generally hold all ecosystems, observed some differences detailed correlated across ecosystems. addition, performed case study investigate whether another type contributions, i.e., documentation contribution, could potentially have positive We discussed implications summarized practical recommendations newcomers. insights gained work demonstrated necessity extending focus research practice hence shed light future direction.

We propose that the affiliations associated with the career histories of a firm’s upper echelon, including its managing officers and board members, send important signals to external parties who are evaluating the quality of young firms. Such signals are cri...

متن کاملOff to a Good Start: The Early Development of the Neural Substrates Underlying Visual Working Memory
Current neuroscientific models describe the functional neural architecture of visual working memory (VWM) as an interaction of the frontal-parietal control network and more posterior areas in the ventral visual stream (Jonides et al., 2008; D'Esposito and Postle, 2015; Eriksson et al., 2015). These models are primarily based on adult neuroimaging studies. However, VWM undergoes significant deve...
