Enabling Exponential Innovation via Open Source Software Development Walt Scacchi Institute for Software Research and Game Culture and Technology Laboratory UCI

Overview Power law distributions (PLDs) PLDs in Open Source Software Development OSSD Projects as innovation engines OSSD multi-project ecology as an innovation frontier OSSD ecology can enable frontier with exponential growth for socio-technical innovations

Power law distribution

OSSD Projects as innovation engines Social/technical innovations in OSSD projects emerge via: Enhancing project resources Inter-project mergers Creating new software development artifacts Tuning adjustments or adaptations Intra-team role migration Incremental product releases (“daily builds”) Restructuring transformations Legal incorporation Code refactoring Reinvention practices Learning from others Commercial product feature replication

FOSS Evolution

OSSD multi-project ecology as an innovation frontier OSSD multi-project ecology: a (virtual) enterprise that collectively mobilizes an inter-related group of OSSD projects Barclays Global Investments, Google Summer of Code, Apache Software Foundation, SUN Microsystems, etc. Frontier: a zone of unsettled land outside the region of existing settlements suitable suitable for exploration and potential development Innovation frontier: a socio-technical zone for innovation outside of existing enterprise system settlements suitable for exploration and potential development.

Google Summer of Code 2006

SUN OSS Projects

Enabling exponential growth for socio-technical innovation frontiers The most successful OSSD projects exhibit sustained exponential growth via social and technical innovations Exponential growth requires critical mass for collective innovation action Critical mass emerges through sufficiently dense socio-technical networks that act as “small worlds” Such networks emerge when participants enjoy making social/technical contributions that serve to advance the accumulation of common pool resources

FOSS Social Networking across projects

Closing remarks To be clear, nearly all enterprises and OSSD projects do not obtain exponential innovation growth. High, sustained growth OSSD projects do exhibit exponential innovation growth when proper conditions exist. When innovation becomes participatory and self-serving, when innovations contribute to common pool resources, and when sustained collective action emerges as a social movement that transcends enterprise boundaries. Possible for enterprises to achieve exponential innovation growth.
