OSOR.EU has a comprehensive case study, describing the organizational structure and the history of the Pardus project. It also offers an overview of the archictecture (pisi, comar, yali...) and details legal issues like the inclusion of non-free software. It also talks about release management and quality assurance and about the role of the community in the development of Pardus. A great read for those interested in the background of this Linux distribution.
