Scope of interaction of six different release team members in the mailing list social network. The underlying social network is the same. Each graph highlights the direct interaction of a different release team member with other developers. Two participants are connected if one of them replies to the other. The size of the node represents the number of messages that a participant is involved. Red (dark) color edges indicate direct interaction (neighbors), orange (mild) color edges indicate a tie among developers to whom a release team member has direct interaction, and grey (pale) color represents the remaining participants. The biggest node close to the center is the release team mailing list
