Abstract
Software developers use different project repositories (i.e., mailing list, bug tracking
repositories, discussion forums etc.) to interact with each other or to solve
software related problems. The growing interest in the usage of social media
channels (i.e., Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) have also attracted the open source
software community and software developers to adopt an identity in order to
disseminate project-related information to a wider audience. Much research has
been carried out to analyze the social behavior of software developers in
different project repositories but so far no one has tried to study the social
communication patterns of developers in other social media channels. We in this
paper presents a new dimension to the social aspects of software developers and
study if the social communication patterns of software developers is different
on project repositories and social media channels (i.e., Twitter).
