dc.description.abstract | Open source software (OSS) projects represent a new paradigm of software creation and development based on
hundreds or even thousands of developers and users organised in the form of a virtual community. The success of an
OSS project is closely linked to the successful organisation and development of the virtual community of support.
The main objective of this article is to analyse the activity of virtual communities. Social network analysis is
employed to analyse Linux ports to embedded processors as a case study to achieve this aim. The obtained results
confirm the necessity of structuring the virtual community with a selection of active developers and core members to
promote community activity and attract peripheral users, expanding the impact of the underlying software. The
obtained result will be useful for the software industry migrating to the open source software paradigm | es |
