摘要：
We learned from the history of software that great software are the ones who manage to sustain their quality. Free and open source software (FOSS) has become a serious software supply channel. However, trust on FOSS products is still an issue. Quality is a trait that enhances trust. In my study, I investigate the following question: how do FOSS communities sustain their software quality? I argue that human and social factors contribute to the sustainability of quality in FOSS communities. Amongst these factors are: the motivation of participants, robust governance style for the software change process, and the exercise of good practices in the pull requests evaluation process.
