众包意味着外包给一个庞大的人群网络。近年来，由于技术的进步和工作生态系统的变化，这种管理工作分配的形式变得更加复杂。众包不仅预示着外包的颠覆，也预示着整个全球劳动力市场的颠覆。小的，原子化的，可以完成的任务，并支付在小增量是前所未有的工作历史。软件一直是上一代所有大趋势的先驱：计算机技术，技术创业，离岸外包，以及现在的众包。本文介绍了一个研究项目，旨在调查巴西的软件劳动力和行业市场的出发点。由于众包这一新现象，这些市场正在发生变化和瓦解。更具体地说，我们的目标是了解众包的三个要素是如何在巴西出现的-买家，平台和人群。我们项目的目标是确定参与众包平台的巴西软件开发人员所面临的挑战以及他们的最佳实践，以便为政府提供建议，并为有兴趣加入这个市场的新开发人员提供支持。
Crowdsourcing means outsourcing to a large network of people—a crowd. This form of managing work allocation has become much more sophisticated in recent years due to improvements in technology and changes in the work ecosystem. Crowdsourcing portends-- not only the disruption of outsourcing-- but the disruption of the entire global labor market. Small, atomized, tasks that can be completed and paid for in small increments are unprecedented in the history of work. Software has been the pioneer in all the large mega-trends of the last generation: in computer technology, technological entrepreneurship, offshore outsourcing, and now-- in crowdsourcing. This paper describes the starting point of a research project that aims to investigate the Brazilian software labor and industry markets. These markets are being transformed and disrupted as a result of the new phenomena of crowdsourcing. To be more specific, we aim to understand how the three elements of crowdsourcing are emerging in Brazil – the buyers, the platforms, and the crowd. The goal of our project is to identify the challenges faced by Brazilian software developers engaged in crowdsourcing platforms as well as their best practices in order to provide recommendations to the government and support for new developers interested in joining this market.
