This study explores the complex power structures and hegemony within the Free/Lib & Open Source Software (FLOSS) ecosystem. Despite the spirit of open collaboration, the FLOSS community is not immune to the formation of hegemony and control. This study aims to provide a coherent analysis of how hegemony is formed in FLOSS projects, on what grounds and how power is exercised, and how such dynamics affect the development process and community governance. The project aims to provide a coherent analysis of how these dynamics influence development processes and community governance.
