Abstract

Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) have found use in the governance of open source software (OSS) projects. However, the governance of an OSS producing DAO should match the particularities of OSS production while also overcoming the existing challenges of decentralized governance. The existing decentralized governance frameworks do not include all the governance activities of OSS projects. Therefore, this study presents a governance framework for DAOs that produce OSS. The framework is built upon a total of 34 articles on DAO and OSS governance. The framework was evaluated in three leading DAOs that produce OSS. The evaluation underscores the significance of the framework and proves the potential of the systematic categorization of governance mechanisms. Finally, we list emerging governance practices in various governance domains in this developing field.

管理生产开放源码软件的分散自治组织

在开放源码软件（OSS）项目的管理中，已经发现了分散自治组织（DAOs）的应用。然而，开放源码软件生产 DAO 的治理应与开放源码软件生产的特殊性相匹配，同时还要克服现有的分散治理挑战。现有的分散治理框架并不包括开放源码软件项目的所有治理活动。因此，本研究为生产开放源码软件的 DAOs 提出了一个治理框架。该框架建立在总共 34 篇关于 DAO 和开放源码软件治理的文章之上。该框架在三个领先的生产开放源码软件的 DAO 中进行了评估。评估强调了该框架的重要性，并证明了对治理机制进行系统分类的潜力。最后，我们列出了这一发展中领域中各个治理领域的新兴治理实践。
