FOSS4PRO
As a member of the FOSS4PRO project, his main task is to uncover the structural 
properties of the self-organized collaboration network of (successful) Open 
Source Communities and to identify universal metrics for activity measurement 
and community self-assessment. This involves the application of results from 
physics and (social) network-theory to this particular phenomenon of 
decentralized group production to derive a practically relevant basis of 
decision-making for professional contributors.

Furthermore he supports the 'FOSS Innovation Platform' with practically 
relevant guidelines for community building and maintenance, as well as Open 
Source Software usage policies for interested companies.
