Requirements for the Summary-Reflection Paper:

For each reading article, you are responsible for writing a summary-reflection essay .This essay should reflect your reflections of the concepts and theoretical frameworks discussed and the confusions you may have.Rather than simply repeat or even copy/paste from original reading materials, please focus on your understanding of the concepts and theoretical frameworks. To be more specific, besides a brief summary, you should have a major section dedicated to the confusions you have with the concepts and models in the reading materials. You should comment on those concepts and models with your own opinions based on working experiences, readings from the library, and reflections of your previous learning.

If you just repeat abstract concepts from the reading materials, you will not earn a high score. You should connect concepts with job/internship experiences.

Introduction
 The article is focusing on the impact of ideology on open source software development teams. The Open Source Software is software, which generates source code and under license releases it, through which the holder who has the copyright gets users all the rights for changing, studying and distributing the licensed software for the purpose to anyone. This software is gaining importance in many sectors like literature, sociology, economic, information systems etc. now the government is also taking interest in the same and trying to develop policies for the effective use of the software, as big companies are also showing their interest in the use of the software. The Open Source Software is developed by a team working together for effectively develop the open source and for its effective use (Crowston).
About the Article and Justifications
As per the Author, usually these teams that work for the development of the software are termed as the virtual organizations or teams having certain unique features in them. The author says that these teams are self-motivated teams that work without any money and guidance that is really required for doing any task. The team members develop the software for the users and not charge any money, the question that arises that why and how these teams work without money and guidance. The author has justified this by quoting about the OSS Community of developers that has a unique feature of ideology. So, as per the author the community has a value or the ideologies of the developer’s community that make the developers do the work very different from the traditional way. A research was conducted to understand why the developers work with the ideology of the community and the result was that the community attracts and retail the developers for the projects, make developers devoted enough to put efforts and the urge to complete the given task on time (Choi). The author is focusing on the positive impact of the ideologies and the tenets of the community which make them foster trust and bring out the best in them and work effectively.
The confusion that is arising is that if the developer’s team works without guidance, how their work is checked and evaluated and how the effectiveness of the work is analyzed. Although the article is well framed and very informative but this is where I am getting confused.
