SUMMARY:Understanding the Economy of Open-Source Software Development Comm
 unities
DESCRIPTION:Minisymposium\n\nUnderstanding the Economy of Open-Source Soft
 ware Development Communities\n\nCohoon\n\nOpen-source software in science 
 often has no price tag for users. Increasing attention has therefore turne
 d to understanding how open-source work can be sustained without tradition
 al fees. Sociotechnical infrastructure studies approach this topic by cons
 idering how resources of all types are leveraged through complex exchanges
  to ensure the sustainability of scientific software. Unsurprisingly, thou
 gh to the chagrin of many package developers, this research has shown that
  scientific software projects rely on grant funding as a major resource fo
 r perpetuity. However, sociotechnical infrastructure studies also implicat
 e a social economy in sustainability endeavors. For example, core develope
 rs and software project PIs offer contributors membership in a research co
 mmunity—a key to any academic career—in exchange for the contributor’s ado
 ption of social norms that will ultimately promote the developers’ and PIs
 ’ own work. In this talk, I introduce some theoretical concepts from relev
 ant infrastructure research to discuss the maintenance and importance of t
 his social economy to open-source scientific software. Providing examples 
 from my own research and beyond, I demonstrate that, like software itself,
  community is a key resource to produce and exchange for open-source susta
 inability.\n\nDomain: Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, Humanities
