Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of 10,698 messages from five online forums with 1,344 participants to identify patterns of activity, major topics of discussion, and the type of social support available for participants in these Open Source Software (OSS) forums. We found that these forums serve as safe spaces shared by marginalized populations, for collaborating, networking and most importantly providing social support to each other.
