I have just finished reading a really good book: Producing Open Source Software by Karl Fogel. The text is enriched by examples taken from the Subversion project where the author used to be involved. The book covers a wide range of topics found in Open Source Projects including Technical, Social and Political Infrastructures, Money, Packaging and Releasing, Licenses and etc.
It is a good source of information if you are trying to improve or understand all the processes and overhead demanded by software development. Recommended even if the project you are engaged is not free/open source.
