Abstract: 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.
