DTSTAMP;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120206T042117 DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100624T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100624T102000 URL;VALUE=URI:http://www.transfersummit.com/node/142 LOCATION:All DESCRIPTION:Amazingly\, and unexpectedly for some\, open source software is really good. And it's everywhere: as has been said before\, you use Linux ten times a day and don't even know it. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have its challenges\; for instance\, because of the "\;scratch your own itch"\; philosophy behind open-source production\, there are itches that don't get properly scratched: as open source makes further inroads into society\, there are more and more people who use the software who can't program. But there's more. Software that works together with other software has more value than standalone software\, and we need agreements on how to represent data\, and how to link the data together. Open software\, standards\, open data are just some of the things necessary to take us to the next level of development.

However\, its use of open innovation techniques does not stop at the content on its website. The software that supports the project's millions of contributors \;is also the result of an open collaboration of software developers. In this presentation\, Samuel Klein will explain why the Wikimedia Foundation continues to rely on and support the open source MediaWiki software\, and a fully open stack of backend\, interface\, and fundraising tools.

How can you be open without giving away the crown jewels? How do you participate in an open community? What is acceptable behaviour and what is not? In this talk\, Noirin Shirley will introduce the Community Development project at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF). This project seeks to provide mentorships for people new to the Apache way of developing software in a collaborative manner. It draws on the success of the Google Summer of Code and provides a mentoring programme that is both broader\, in terms of contribution types and background\, and more focussed\, in terms of addressing ASF projects specifically. In this presentation\, we will hear how this\, and similar projects run at other foundations\, can be used to enhance skills in the collaborative development of software.

We want to continue this work and to expand our working relationships to include the academic and governmental sector. We'd like to strengthen our ties with collaborating partners\, including businesses\, academic organizations\, researchers\, professors and students\, in order to improve the quality of our projects for all. Come learn what we are doing and help us figure out what will be most effective to enable GNOME and your organization to work closely together.

Understanding the appropriate licence for your project and knowing your responsibilities with respect to components you reuse is critical to the success of any project developing or reusing Open Source products. Furthermore in order for users to adopt and reuse your code you must be able to demonstrate that you have the necessary rights to distribute under the chosen license. This presentation will cover each of these aspects of IP management in an open source project.

The CodePlex mission is to "\;enable the exchange of code and understanding among software companies and open source communities"\;. \; The Codeplex Foundation is seeking to accelerate commercial organizations contributing to open source projects\, and expanding the amount of software developed in an open collaborative manner.  \;  \; END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar:139:field_time:0:12 SUMMARY:Lunch DTSTAMP;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120206T042117 DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100624T131000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100624T140000 URL;VALUE=URI:http://www.transfersummit.com/node/139 LOCATION:All END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar:46:field_time:0:13 SUMMARY:How to build innovation using the Open Source model DTSTAMP;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120206T042117 DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100624T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100624T144000 URL;VALUE=URI:http://www.transfersummit.com/node/46 LOCATION:Innovation DESCRIPTION:Open Source has been used to describe everything from publishing code to a whole new development model. In this session\, Paul Fremantle\, entrepreneur and Apache Member\, will talk about his experiences building a highly innovative team based on approaches from Open Source. He will focus on real-life examples from his open source startup\, WSO2. In the session\, Paul will talk about how to build and foster innovation and involvement by learning lessons from key Open Source projects\, including the Apache Software Foundation and those at his startup\, WSO2. In particular\, Paul will tell the story of Carbon and Stratos\, open source frameworks that have demonstrated strong innovation. In addition\, hel will discuss the dynamics of different open source communities and licences and how they affect innovation.

The Opencast Community also supports community-driven projects\, such as Opencast Matterhorn\, an Open Source Software supporting the scheduling\, capture\, managing\, encoding and delivery of educational audio and video content. It is being developed in an international cooperation of 13 academic partners.  \;This talk will discuss the use of open development methodologies in fostering the global collaboration between academic partners\, highlight challenges in this endeavour and spotlight the value for higher education in the adoption of and participation in a transparent and inclusive approach to software development.  \; END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar:71:field_time:0:15 SUMMARY:How the Mozilla Foundation works DTSTAMP;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120206T042117 DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100624T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100624T144000 URL;VALUE=URI:http://www.transfersummit.com/node/71 LOCATION:Collaboration DESCRIPTION:Mozilla is an enigma: a tiny charity taking on Apple\, Google and Microsoft all at once\; making free software\, yet in the mainstream\; and with a tiny marketing budget\, yet a world-famous brand. The production and widespread use of this software has enabled thousands of businesses to build on the Firefox and Open Web platforms on an equal footing. Find out how the Mozilla Foundation's unusual structure works and how it blends volunteer and employed labour (both its own and that of other companies) into one community dedicated to the open web.

DTSTAMP;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120206T042117 DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100624T145000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100624T153000 URL;VALUE=URI:http://www.transfersummit.com/node/48 LOCATION:Innovation DESCRIPTION:When newcomers to open development consider whether it is the right approach for their project\, they often assume that one needs a large community to reach success. They see projects like GNOME\, Firefox or Eclipse and imagine huge projects with thousands of active developers. The natural assumption is that their little niche project is unlikely to be a success. Is this a correct assumption? In this presentation\, Gianugo Rabellino will dissect a typical large community. We'll discover that in most cases\, the core team is very small\, often just one or two people.

Exactly five years ago\, Matthew Langham gave a talk at an Open Source conference about his work and experience in getting commercial organizations to understand the benefits of Open Source\, from a vendor perspective as well as that of a consumer. Five years on\, he will extend and revisit these insights\, showing how large commercial organizations are now establishing their own internal Open Source communities to leverage and streamline their Open Source adoption and engagement. Using work at an integrated oil and gas supermajor as an example\, he will describe the steps taken in establishing an internal Open Source community\, the benefits and the lessons learned along the way.

Each partnership employs one or more recently qualified people (known as 'associates') to work in a company on a project of strategic importance to the business\, while being supervised by the knowledge base partner. In this session\, we will explore how KTPs facilitate the transfer of knowledge through joint supervision of projects involving a company and an academic institution. We will also discover how KTPs further increase the interaction between businesses and academic institutions\, and awareness of the contribution academia can make to business development and growth.

All communities start off small\; initial participants often find themselves talking to themselves\, but failure to communicate internal thoughts to newcomers looking for an opportunity to contribute is\, in itself\, a barrier to entry for those newcomers. Who wants to be the first at the party? Conversely\, once a community has developed\, everyone seems to know each other already. Who wants to be the only one nobody knows at the party? Of course\, there is a whole host of barriers between these two points. In this presentation\, we'll look at some of the most common barriers to community.

Individual participants in open source projects may have profit motives\, but generally the project itself is focused on building the best quality software regardless of the ultimate market share. \; Even when an open source project has a relatively small market share\, it can have a strong influence in the overall market by participating in standards activities as well as providing high-quality reference implementation of standards when those standards are approved. \; Open Source projects are often the best way to get a standard to the tipping point in terms of market adoption even if the open source software only represents a small fraction of the real market. This talk will discuss standards in general and in particular standards for teaching and learning produced by the IMS Global Learning Consortium. \; \; We will discuss the progression of the IMS Learning Tools Interoperability Standard and how open source involvement in the process has greatly affected the overall marketplace.

This can be apparent from the conditions offered to them - whether it is a lack of opportunities for staff development or career progression\, or unsuitable physical working environments. However\, developers frequently have creative and analytical skills that are under-utilized. Paul will describe the DevCSI project\, which represents a concerted effort to raise the profile of developers in one particular sector - Higher Education - through creating opportunities for developers to network\, collaborate and showcase their work. The goal of this talk is to prove how developers have more significant value to offer organizations than is often supposed\, and to demonstrate that the developers who are encouraged to participate in wider communities are more valuable to the organization as a result. The lessons being learned in this sector are applicable to other sectors\, as is demonstrated by the growing interest in our work from commercial developers.

But when it comes to reaching out to the non-academic sector\, relationships rarely go beyond initial project partners. An EU-funded project from the University of Bolton is experiencing the benefits of moving beyond the traditional dissemination routes. By entering The Apache Software Foundation's Incubator\, the project is attracting interest from both the academic and the commercial sectors. This allows for a wider collaboration on the software product\, which in turn leads to more research and commercial funding activities. This talk explores how funded academic projects can become important beyond academic borders.

This is especially true as an increasing number of corporations are adopting and distributing Open Source applications and code. This talk will therefore give an overview of the current state of Open Source licensing\, discussing topics such as common ways of adding licensing information to a project\, as well as copyright agreements such as Joint Copyright Assignments (JCA). The talk will also look at ways of identifying licensing information in code\, using tools like FOSSology. Finally\, ideas for improving the current state of Open Source licensing will be proposed\, such as joint efforts to improve unclear licensing information and the development of standardized ways of conveying licensing information.

It is also about a software development methodology that allows companies to share resources and collaborate on non-core parts of their software/service offering. When managed well\, open development enables a reduction in cost\, and an increase in innovation as a result of the convergence of the best minds in the problem space. In this presentation\, Bertrand Delacretaz will describe how Day Software has embraced open development by positioning itself as the leader in both open standards and Open Source software. He will examine how Day's active engagement with 25 open source projects and numerous standards groups has enabled the company to become a world leader in its market and in the Open Source projects it participates in.  \; Article on the H online: \;http://www.h-online.com/open/features/TransferSummit-Open-innovation-in-software-means-Open-Source-1022212.html The slides are available via slideshare or below as a download. \; Open Innovation means Open Source View more presentations from bdelacretaz.

The software\, known as TexGen\, is used to generate numerical models to predict the mechanical and physical behaviour of textiles and their composites\, and underpins a number of academic and commercial research projects funded by EPSRC\, TSB and industry. A variety of collaborations are involved in this work\, involving a range of universities and companies. Due to increasing requests from external users to access the software\, in 2006 we made the code available as an open source project via the Sourceforge website. Since this time over 4000 downloads of executable and source code have been registered\, and a number of new collaborations have resulted. These include projects valued at around £\;500k that have arisen directly as a result of open source provision and the collaboration this enables\, with another £\;500k indirectly attributable to this decision. Most importantly for the group\, dissemination of the code as open source was viewed extremely favourably by EPSRC\, and this approach coupled with the collaborative research that resulted were major factors in the renewal of our prestigious Platform Grant in 2009.

This may come from a desire to be seen to offer a more up to date and relevant learning experience for their pupils. However\, a managed service approach to the provision of IT systems and a general absence of funding for in-house research and development present challenges for such individuals or organisations. \;  \; One approach to technological innovation within the schools sector is thus to seek a transfer in ideas\, technologies and solutions from other sectors\, where they have been developed and tested and have become well-established\, minimising risk to the school and re-purposing others' achievements. The author discusses the strengths and weaknesses of this approach. Case studies of successful transfer from higher education\, the games industry\, and of GPS technology and data-mining are explored. Concluding remarks explore the challenges involved in adapting technologies developed for other contexts to the school environment.

In addition\, it describes the ground rules for participation in the project and the processes for communicating and sharing within the project team and community. It is the governance model that prevents an open source project from descending into chaos. This talk explains why a governance model is necessary\, considers some of the challenges associated with adopting a governance model in Open Source projects\, and looks at the key areas such a model needs to cover. It also describes how to encapsulate your governance model in a governance document. We go on to examine two types of governance model\, which\, on the surface\, appear to be completely opposite to one another: the benevolent dictator model and the meritocratic model. We will discover that when applied successfully to a community-led project\, these two models are\, in fact\, very similar and equally successful.
