Defining Open Source Software Project Success	Version: 0 Submitted Date: 2006/9/7
Description: Information systems success is one of the most widely used dependent variables in information systems research. In this paper, we identify a range of measures that can be used to assess the success of open source software (OSS) projects. We identify measures based on a review of the literature, a consideration of the OSS development process and an analysis of the opinions of OSS developers. For each measure, we provide examples of how they might be used in a study of OSS development. Author: Kevin Crowston, Hala Annabi, and James Howison Keywords: Open Source Software, Software Development, System Success, OSS, Measures, Measure, Success
