Slide 33 text
“The majority of development-related communication I do is
primarily written—IRC, chat, email, forums, microblogging,
blogging, etc. Considering that the developers I work with
come from a variety of nationalities and cultural backgrounds,
the intent of communication is often hard to impart or judge,
which can lead to misunderstanding.” [P31]
Geographic, cultural, and economic factors can pose
barriers to participation through social channels
