	abstract = {Open source software is just one part of a much wider social and economic ecosystem that is evolving around increased participation of what-used-to-be consumers. New roles are emerging, including "produsers", with an intentional {\textquoteright}s{\textquoteright}, to refer to the amalgamation of being both a user and a producer, and "end-makers", another intentional concept to be contrasted with end-users.

In this new ecosystem, produsers and end-makers either partially, but sometimes fully, produce value, aided or unaided by institutions and companies. This creates new dynamics that need to be understood. One way of increasing our understanding is to look at the inter-locking dynamics of both businesses and the participant-communities, for which the following article constructs a model of Interaction. Each distinct type of relationship generates different dynamics and associated business models.},
