If I understand your request correctly, I'd recommend:
- Chapter 19 ("Open Source") of ESR's book "The Art of Unix
  Programming", relatively short and technical. It is available
  online at http://www.faqs.org/docs/artu/opensourcechapter.html 
- "Producing Open Source Software" by Karl Fogel. From the book's
  website: "Producing Open Source Software is a book about the
  human side of open source development. It describes how
  successful projects operate, the expectations of users and
  developers, and the culture of free software." It is also
  available online at http://producingoss.com/
