The Organizational Model for Open Source. Harvard Business School
professor Siobhán O'Mahony [5]discusses her research on foundations
formed around the projects: Debian, GNOME and Apache. She says that
hackers who contribute to the open source community are often
intrinsically motivated. It is important to realize, however, that
hackers are a diverse group. It is not safe to generalize about all of
the values that hackers share, but they tend to agree on at least one
thing: Respect must be earned and cannot be derived from position.
