SUMMARY:A New Approach To Open Source: The CodePlex Foundation

DESCRIPTION:On the surface the Codeplex Foundation is just another open source software foundation\, however\, its fundamental goal is different from existing foundations. The CodePlex mission is to &quot\;enable the exchange of code and understanding among software companies and open source communities&quot\;.&nbsp\; 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.

SUMMARY:How to build innovation using the Open Source model

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.

SUMMARY:Is my community too small for success?

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.

SUMMARY:Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
DTSTAMP;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120205T091158

LOCATION:Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) is Europe's leading programme for helping businesses to improve their competitiveness and productivity through better use of knowledge\, technology and skills within the UK knowledge base.The programme builds relationships between a company and an academic institution ('knowledge base partner')\, which facilitates the transfer of knowledge\, technology and skills to which the 'company partner' currently has no access. 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.

SUMMARY:Barriers to community

DESCRIPTION:Building community is not easy. 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.

SUMMARY:Are developers important?
DTSTAMP;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120205T091158

LOCATION:Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Software developers are often regarded within large organizations as undifferentiated 'resources' to be called on to make computers work. 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.

SUMMARY:The state of Open Source licensing and how to improve it

LOCATION:Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Love it or hate it\, correct licensing is an important component of every free software and Open Source project. 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.

LOCATION:Innovation
DESCRIPTION:The mobile landscape has changed quite dramatically over the past few years\, with the emergence of new mobile platforms and a significant shift toward open source in mobile technologies. What are the key economic drivers for this shift\, and what are the lessons that can be learnt from the mobile industry's adoption of open source?
 &nbsp\;
 This talk will draw on Andrew's experiences as Open Source Manager for the LiMo Foundation. It will look at how and why open source has become commonplace in mobile platform development\, and the advantages and pitfalls of using open source.

DESCRIPTION:The idea of the digital commons is proving disruptive to many industries. Each has its own quirks and foibles. Andrew Katz\, a lawyer specializing in open source software\, who also advises on other 'opens'\, investigates the interplay between licensing and community in a number of non-software open projects. In particular\, he has been advising the 40Fires foundation on licensing issues arising out of its development of an open source hydrogen/fuel cell car.

SUMMARY:Project governance
DTSTAMP;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120205T091158

LOCATION:Innovation
DESCRIPTION:A governance model describes the roles that project participants can take and the process for decision-making within the project. 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.
