DESCRIPTION: Seminar Title: A Theory-Grounded Recommender System for Open S
 ource Developer Retention \n\n Abstract: The growing popularity of Open So
 urce Software (OSS) has attracted millions of developers to social coding 
 platforms such as GitHub.com. However\, OSS is becoming a victim of its ow
 n success\, because finding a suitable project\, among millions of project
 s hosted on social coding platforms is a grueling task for developers. Thi
 s misalignment between developers and projects often leads to high develop
 er turnover and project failures. In pursuit of more effective algorithms 
 that can both attract and retain new developers\, we adopt a holistic pers
 pective on long-term motivational theory driving participation in OSS and 
 show how this can be integrated in a preference matching algorithm recomme
 nding OSS projects to new developers. We leverage social\, technical and s
 ocio-technical dimensions of developer activity and draw upon the concept 
 of integrated membership established in Legitimate Peripheral Participatio
 n theory to extract developer preferences that associate to long-term prod
 uctivity outcomes. Hence\, this paper presents an artifact to recommend OS
 S projects to developers that builds upon the idea of learning from the in
 tegrated developers of a community\, through modeling of social\, technica
 l and socio-technical activities as implicit indicators of direct shared t
 opical interest and long-term situated learning potential. Evaluation usin
 g real-world GitHub data demonstrates that the recommendations produced by
  our artifact are associated with substantial long-term productivity gains
  among newly onboarded developers. \n\n Bio: Chintan Amrit is an associate
  professor at the Department of Business Analytics\, University of Amsterd
 am\, where he is the program director of the Business Information Technolo
 gy Management Master program. He has completed his PhD from the University
  of Twente in the area of coordination in software development. He holds a
  master’s degree in computer science from the Indian Institute of Scienc
 e\, Bangalore. His research interests are in the area of business intellig
 ence (using machine learning)\, open-source development and mining softwar
 e repositories\, and applying analytics in projects that focus on the UN
 ’s sustainable development goals. He has published over 100 research art
 icles and serves as a department editor of IEEE Transactions in Engineerin
 g Management\, coordinating editor of Information Systems Frontiers journa
 l\, an associate editor of PeerJ Computer Science journal\, and he will be
  the General Chair of the IFIP 8.3 conference in 2028. \n\n Photographs wi
