A paper by @joeroe and I has finally been published in Internet Archaeology! https://doi.org/10.11141/ia.67.13

The paper investigates the collaborative experiences involved in archaeological open source software development, looking how archaeologists create these tools as part of a broader community of practice

Open Archaeology, Open Source? Collaborative practices in an emerging community of archaeological software engineers

This article investigates modes of collaboration in the emerging community of practice using 'open-archaeo', a curated list of archaeological software, and data on the activity of associated GitHub repositories and users. An exploratory quantitative analysis is conducted to characterise the nature and intensity of these collaborations and map the collaborative networks that emerge from them.

Day two of #archeoFOSS begins now, with a panel on the roadmap to cooperation and transparency: fostering open science solutions in archaeology #OpenScience #OpenArchaeology

I'm happy to share a data paper on https://open-archaeo.info, the list of open source archaeological software and resources that @joeroe and I maintain! https://doi.org/10.5334/joad.111

We outline the data collection methods and conceptual model, and highlight open-archaeo's value as a public resource and as a dataset to examine the emerging community of practice surrounding open source software development in research contexts
