The advent of global distribution of software development has made managing collaboration and coordination among developers more difficult due to various reasons including physical distance, differences in time, cultural differences etc. A nearly total absence of informal communication among developers makes coordinating work in a globally distributed setting more critical. The goal of this workshop is to provide an opportunity for researchers and industry practitioners to explore both the state-of the art in tools and methodologies for managing global software development (GSD).
