Re-launched with a broader scope in 2011 as the Technology Innovation Management Review, the journal now celebrates its 10th anniversary. In this article, we review the 10-year history of the journal to examine what themes have been covered, who has contributed, and how much the articles have been read and cited. During those 10 years, the journal has published 120 monthly issues, including more than 800 publications by more than 800 international authors from industry, academia, the public sector, and beyond. As discovered with topic modelling, the journal has covered seven themes: open source business, technology entrepreneurship, growing a business, research approaches, social innovation, living labs, and cybersecurity. Overall, the website has attracted over 1 million readers from around the world {\textendash} 31\% from Asia, 30\% from the Americas, 26\% from Europe, 8\% from Africa, and 5\% from Oceania {\textendash} with over 25,000 readers now accessing the site each month. }, keywords = {business, entrepreneurship, innovation, journal, management, open source, OSBR, research, scientometric analyses, technology, TIM Review, topic, topic modelling}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/1087}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/1087}, author = {Chris McPhee and Teemu Santonen and Ahmed Shah and Ali Nazari} } @article {962, title = {Editorial: Cybersecurity (February 2016)}, journal = {Technology Innovation Management Review}, volume = {6}, year = {2016}, month = {02/2016}, pages = {3-4}, publisher = {Talent First Network}, address = {Ottawa}, keywords = {cybersecurity, intrusion, licensing, literature reviews, machine learning, malware, multisided platforms, new domains, open source}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/962}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/962}, author = {Chris McPhee and Dan Craigen} } @article {966, title = {License Compliance in Open Source Cybersecurity Projects}, journal = {Technology Innovation Management Review}, volume = {6}, year = {2016}, month = {02/2016}, pages = {28-35}, publisher = {Talent First Network}, address = {Ottawa}, abstract = {Developers of cybersecurity software often include and rely upon open source software packages in their commercial software products. Before open source code is absorbed into a proprietary product, developers must check the package license to see if the project is permissively licensed, thereby allowing for commercial-friendly inheritance and redistribution. However, there is a risk that the open source package license could be inaccurate due to being silently contaminated with restrictively licensed open source code that may prohibit the sale or confidentiality of commercial derivative work. Contamination of commercial products could lead to expensive remediation costs, damage to the company{\textquoteright}s reputation, and costly legal fees. In this article, we report on our preliminary analysis of more than 200 open source cybersecurity projects to identify the most frequently used license types and languages and to look for evidence of permissively licensed open source projects that are likely contaminated by restrictive licensed material (i.e., containing commercial-unfriendly code). Our analysis identified restrictive license contamination cases occurring in permissively licensed open source projects. Furthermore, we found a high proportion of code that lacked copyright attribution. We expect that the results of this study will: i) provide managers and developers with an understanding of how contamination can occur, ii) provide open source communities with an understanding on how they can better protect their intellectual property by including licenses and copyright information in their code, and ii) provide entrepreneurs with an understanding of the open source cybersecurity domain in terms of licensing and contamination and how they affect decisions about cybersecurity software architectures.}, keywords = {contamination, copyright, cybersecurity, GPL, license, open source, third-party code}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/966}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/966}, author = {Ahmed Shah and Selman Selman and Ibrahim Abualhaol} } @article {944, title = {Q\&A.

How can a business create and capture value if it depends on effective collaboration among these different groups? In this article, we review the published research on open source collaboration and reveal insights that will be beneficial to entrepreneurs and managers. We organize the published research into four streams based upon the following actor groups: i) governance actors, ii) competitors, iii) complementors, and iv) the core community. Then, through induction and synthesis, we identify barriers to collaboration, first by ecosystem and then by actor group.

In reality, sustainability is much more complex. What makes this project more sustainable than that one? Why should it be assumed in the first place that sustainability is a prolonged state of an ingraced project? The threads are pulled from their yarns in many directions. This article attempts to reconceptualize some assumed notions of the processes involved in developing open source software. It takes the stance in favour of studying the fluctuant nature of open source and the associated artefacts, not as well-defined objects, but as commons that are continually built upon, evolved, and modified; sometimes in unexpected ways. Further, the governance of these commons is an ongoing process, tightly linked with the way in which these commons are allowed to further develop. This perspective of "in-becoming" is useful in understanding the efforts and processes that need to be provided to sustainably govern the development of open source projects and the advantages for managing requirements derived therein. }, keywords = {becoming, emergence, governance, open source, Ostrom, processes, requirements, sustainability}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/649}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/649}, author = {Daniel Curto-Millet} } @article {576, title = {Being Disruptive: How Open Growth is Delivering Effective Social Change at a Fast Pace}, journal = {Technology Innovation Management Review}, volume = {2}, year = {2012}, month = {07/2012}, pages = {16-20}, publisher = {Talent First Network}, address = {Ottawa}, abstract = {Both innovators and funders need tools that map the entire constellation of solutions in a sector.

Results of the research suggest that: i) the actions of an open source software foundation are centered around one of three groups: Members, Chairman/President/Executive Director, and Board of Directors; ii) in only one of the six foundations is the Board of Directors responsible for both the community and the product; and iii) artificial neural network analysis of the content of bylaws provides unbiased insights of the power structure of open source software foundations.

While much attention is given to the importance of open source licenses, we argue in this article that the governance model can be as necessary to a project{\textquoteright}s success and that projects vary widely in the governance models - whether open or closed - that they employ. Open source governance models describe the control points that are used to influence open source projects with regard to access to the source code, how the source code is developed, how derivatives are created, and the community structure of the project. Governance determines who has control over the project beyond what is deemed legally necessary via the open source licenses for that project. The purpose of our research is to define and measure the governance of open source projects, in other words, the extent to which decision-making in an open source project is "open" or "closed". We analyzed eight open source projects using 13 specific governance criteria across four areas of governance: access, development, derivatives and community. Our findings suggest that the most open platforms will be most successful in the long term, however we acknowledge exceptions to this rule. We also identify best practices that are common across these open source projects with regard to source code access, development of source code, management of derivatives, and community structure.
