DESCRIPTION:Wikipedia is well known for building an encyclopedia using the power of  community. 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&nbsp\;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.

DESCRIPTION:The GNOME Foundation has a good history of working with companies and  technical users. 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.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Day Software is one of the most successful European software companies. The majority of its R&amp\;D engineers are active on one or more Open Source projects and its products consist in very large part of Open Source code (an unverified figure of 95%\, but certainly close in terms of importance)\, much of it originally developed in-house. In this presentation\, Bertrand Delacr&eacute\;taz will look at why Day Software has chosen to 'give away the crown jewels'\, and we'll discover how this action has resulted in rapid and sustained growth for the company.

DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Dr Matthias Stuermer presents a case study of a large commercial company (Nokia)\, which opened up a product's software\, leveraged externally developed Open Source technologies and encouraged contributions from independent developers and competing businesses alike. In the process\, the company created a new market for the product it had envisioned (the Internet tablet) but\, more importantly\, it learned how to cooperate with a diverse community of employers\, volunteers and contractors. Additionally\, by allowing external developers to experiment with the software\, the company enabled innovations previously seen as unrealistic by its own engineers.

DESCRIPTION:Open source as a business model is good for the community\, the supplier and the customer. &nbsp\;Today there is an ever increasing number of wildly successful open source businesses. One of the first and perhaps the most most succesful is Red Hat.
 
 In this session Phil Andrews Regional Director of Red Hat for Northern and Eastern Europe will share details about how the Red Hat model works\, the benefits to the supplier community and also the end user customers in making Open Source Enterprise class.

DESCRIPTION:The Apache Software Foundation has long been a place of innovation. It was established over 10 years ago to allow academic\, non-profit and commercial organizations to work with and contribute to an Open Source web server created by a small group of IT specialists. That web server still serves 55-80% of the world's Internet pages. Today\, the foundation is home to over 100 world-leading products\, all with multiple organizations working on them. In this presentation\, Justin Erenkrantz\, President of The Apache Software Foundation\, will describe what the foundation is\, what its objectives are\, and how it enables and encourages a close collaboration between academic\, public and commercial sectors.

SUMMARY:TexGen – Open Source Software for Modelling of Technical Textiles

DESCRIPTION:The Polymer Composites Group at the University of Nottingham have developed software for modelling the geometry of technical textiles over the last 12 years. 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 &pound\;500k that have arisen directly as a result of open source provision and the collaboration this enables\, with another &pound\;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.

SUMMARY:Technological innovation in schools - cross sector transfer
DTSTAMP;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120206T042757

DESCRIPTION:Many teachers and schools seek to be seen as innovators\, not least in relation to their use of technology. 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.&nbsp\;
 &nbsp\;
 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.

DESCRIPTION:Reinventing the wheel is wasteful and error prone. But reusing appropriate technologies allows you to focus on development activities that make your product unique\, while sharing development resources and quality-control processes for non-differentiating features with partners and even competitors. In this presentation\, Ian will explore how the Sakai Foundation rebuilt its flagship product efficiently and cost effectively by leveraging Open Source software.
