The Social Structure of KDE Development
=======================================

   NewsForge [http://www.newsforge.com/] has published an interview I
conducted with Andreas Brand
[http://programming.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/01/25/1859253], a
sociologist who is studying the free software world. I met him at
aKademy [http://conference2004.kde.org/] last year, where he was in the
middle of research on KDE as an example of an open source project based
upon collaboration without hierarchies. Read the full interview to learn
more about his views on KDE's development model, volunteer recruitment
and retention, motivation, work distribution and more.
