jgb's pages at GSyC

Research activities

My main research line is currently the quantitative study of libre (free, open source) software development. My activities in that area ar included in those of the LibreSoft group (in its web site you can find detailed information about them).

Some of the papers related to my research on libre software engineering (open source, free ssoftware engineering) are available in my page on texts, presentations and publications on libre software engineering.
