Abstract
Open source Software (OSS) ecosystems have had a tremendous impact on computing and society, while their sustainability poses great challenges to both practitioners and researchers. We utilize vast collections of open data produced by distributed version control and social media to discover the mechanisms by which such ecosystems form and operate, which we call open source software sociology.
