Abstract
Open Source Software (OSS) is the manifestation of software developed and released under an “open source” license, meaning that under certain conditions; it is openly available for use, inspection, modification, and for redistribution free of cost, or with cost based on the license agreement. The transient nature of the OSS work force results in turnover induced knowledge loss in OSS projects. In this work, we examine the research methodology, which will contribute to the formation of proactive knowledge retention practices in OSS projects to transform contributor’s use of knowledge and engagement in knowledge relevant activities including knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer.
