I would like to inform you about an upcoming publication in which I include a very short, anonymized network analysis of messages from this list. The main topic of the publication, however, is the communication structure of the ATLAS collaboration at CERN, the particle physics laboratory. A draft of the paper is available at https://tubcloud.tu-berlin.de/s/N9noYEfHqBLDtQq For the short analysis of the linux kernel mailing list, I used the messages sent during the year 2012 as archived on https://lkml.org/. In the publication, I mention some global characteristics of the network of messages and replies sent to the list – its density, for instance (see p. 17). No email-addresses, nor names of persons, nor any content of the messages will be published. The paper will be published in "Synthese", a leading journal in the philosophy of science, in the topical collection "Digital Studies of Digital Science" [1]. If you have questions or comments concerning the publication, please contact me at adrian.wuethrich@tu-berlin.de.
