Meeting Challenges and Surviving Success: The 2nd Workshop on Open Source Software Engineering

Meeting Challenges and Surviving Success: The 2nd Workshop on Open Source Software Engineering was held on May 25, 2003 at the 24th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2002).

The workshop sought to address the quality and maintainability of OSS products and tools, the replicability and portability of the OSS software engineering process and tool kit, the stability and sustainability of OSS developer and user communities, and the viability and profitability of OSS business models.

The following papers appear in the workshop proceedings:
