Abstract
The phenomenon of adopting open source software development

has been conducted as a case study at a software development company.

Data collection was carried out through interviews and a series of focus

group meetings, and then analyzed by mapping it to an available framework.

The analysis shows that the organization possesses potential, and

also identied a number of challenges and benets of special importance

to the case company. To address these challenges, the case study synthesized

the organizational and infrastructural needs of the organization

in a requirements specication describing a technical infrastructure, also

known as a software forge, with an adapted organizational context and

work process. (Less)
