本文通过跨时间的社会网络分析，进一步探讨了自由开放源码软件(FLOSS)团队的社会结构。与预期相反，我们证实了早期的发现，即集中化的广泛分布，即使在检查网络随时间推移的时候也是如此。这篇论文还提供了经验证据，虽然FLOSS项目中心的变化相对罕见，但跨项目社区的参与是高度不平衡的，许多参与者只出现了一个时期。令人惊讶的是，大型项目团队并不更有可能在其中心经历变革。
This paper furthers inquiry into the social structure of free and open source software (FLOSS) teams by undertaking social network analysis across time. Contrary to expectations, we confirmed earlier findings of a wide distribution of centralizations even when examining the networks over time. The paper also provides empirical evidence that while change at the center of FLOSS projects is relatively uncommon, participation across the project communities is highly skewed, with many participants appearing for only one period. Surprisingly, large project teams are not more likely to undergo change at their centers.
