	30	+Any manager responsible for decisions about the adoption, production, or participation in Open Source Software will benefit greatly by understanding open source communities of practice. The relationships between Open Source Software projects, community-based production, and open source licenses are critical to those managing technology portfolios: resourcing internal software development, overseeing software and technology procurement, and managing infrastructure operations. Of all of the characteristics that distinguishes open source from proprietary production, it is perhaps the role of community that is most culturally sophisticated and nuanced. While there is clearly a management science, community is just as clearly an art.

	32	+This course enables students to understand the various roles in communities of practice supporting Open Source Software development, adoption, and maintenance. Students will assess the characteristics, viability, and appropriateness of the community; how to participate in the community; and the implications of starting new (i.e “forking”) communities. In this course students will learn about different types of communities: management philosophies, community governance, communication strategies, and how they impact the roles and responsibilities of members, the expectations and responsibilities of participants, the motivations of different community members, and how such communities may align—or not—with corporate interests.
	33	+\\By the end of this course, students will be able to:
	34	+
	35	+* Describe the role and value of “community” in Open Source Software production.
	36	+* Identify the different roles that individual and organizational participants can take in an Open Source Software community.
	37	+* Articulate different approaches to community leadership and management based on roles within an organization and with the wider Open Source Software community.
	38	+* Assess the relative strengths and weaknesses of an Open Source Software community.
	39	+* Identify the different roles and related management structures within organizations that may contribute to Open Source Software production.
