The document discusses the concepts of distributed collaboration and commons-based peer production (CBPP). It provides three key requirements for successful peer production projects: 1) being modular and divisible into independently producible components, 2) having fine-grained modules to accommodate variously sized contributions, and 3) having low-cost integration mechanisms for quality control and assembly. CBPP depends on large numbers of individuals independently contributing small creative efforts which are then integrated. Successful systems have mechanisms for peer review. The document also discusses factors that enable CBPP, such as nonrivalrous knowledge goods, and incentives and motivations for participation.

Digital sustainability: how to move beyond the oxymoron
Can digital art be made to last in a sustainable way? It is no surprise that artists are keen to use and respond to new material in their practices. With every new invention, throughout the years, museum conservators tried to follow and adapted their working methods to the new challenges. Similarly, with the rise of digital artworks conservators try to think of solutions to preserve the collected artworks. While this works well in some cases, in many cases changes to the artwork happen as most hardware and software follow the design of planned-obsolescence. As a consequence endless migration and/or emulation projects are set up to prolong the working of digital art. It makes sense to use upgraded technology to keep an artwork going. Yet this enduring rat race becomes questionable when thinking about the environmental impact of digitals. In this presentation I want to discuss the oxymoron ‘digital sustainability’. By acknowledging this inherent contradiction, in my research I aim to critically inquire what it means for digital technology to support sustainability and how humans and technology can work together optimally for a more sustainable future. As a first step, I'll explore the potential of ‘networks of care’ to create, build and maintain digital cultural heritage in a sustainable way.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

6. distributed work
commons-based peer production
Sunday, April 14, 13
7. [CBPP] depends on very large aggregations of
individuals independently scouring their information
environment in search of opportunities to be creative
in small or large increments. These individuals then self-
identify for tasks and perform them for a variety of
motivational reasons... Practically all successful peer
production systems have a robust mechanism for peer
review or statistical weeding out of contributions from
agents who misjudge themselves. (376)
Sunday, April 14, 13
9. First, they must be modular ... divisible into
components, or modules, each of which can be
produced independently of the production of the
others. This enables production to be incremental and
asynchronous, pooling the efforts of different people,
with different capabilities, who are available at different
times (378-79)
Sunday, April 14, 13
10. Second, the granularity of the modules is important and
refers to the sizes of the project’s modules. For a peer
production process to pool successfully a relatively
large number of contributors, the modules should be
predominantly fine-grained, or small in size. This allows
the project to capture contributions from large
numbers of contributors whose motivation levels will
not sustain anything more than small efforts ... A project
will likely be more efficient if it can accommodate
variously sized contributions (379).
Sunday, April 14, 13
11. Third, and finally, a successful peer production
enterprise must have low-cost integration, which
includes both quality control over the modules and a
mechanism for integrating the contributions into the
finished product (379).
Sunday, April 14, 13
15. “Individuals produce on a nonproprietary basis and
contribute their product to a knowledge “commons”
that no one is understood as “owning,” and that anyone
can, indeed is required by professional norms to, take
and extend” (381-82).
Sunday, April 14, 13
23. Let us call this distributed work coordinative,
polycontextual, crossdisciplinary work that splices together
divergent work activities (separated by time, space,
organizations, and objectives) and that enables the
transformations of information and texts that characterize
such work. (Spinuzzi, 266)
Sunday, April 14, 13
24. Distributed work is the coordinative work that enables
sociotechnical networks to hold together and form
dense interconnections among and across work
activities that have traditionally been separated by
temporal, spatial, or disciplinary boundaries. Networks,
not hierarchies, are the dominant organizational form
here (though one does not preclude the other, and
hierarchies persist in distributed work). Distributed
work is deeply interpenetrated, with multiple,
multidirectional information flows.Yes, work may
resemble a process, but this work is performed by
assemblages of workers and technologies, assemblages
that may not be stable from one incident to the next
and in which work may not follow predictable or
circumscribed paths. (268)
paths.
Sunday, April 14, 13
25. “Networks, not
hierarchies, are the
dominant organizational
form here.” (268)
Sunday, April 14, 13
26. In this shift toward distributed work, negotiation
becomes an essential skill. Trust becomes an ongoing
project. Organizations become looser aggregations held
together by alliances, and agility entails constantly
having to work to reaffirm and redefine alliances
(Alberts & Hayes, 2003; Atkinson & Moffat, 2005). Thus,
rhetoric becomes an essential area of expertise; direct
connections mean that everyone can and should be a
rhetor (Carter, 2005). (271)
Sunday, April 14, 13
28. Jess:
Now, I realize Spinuzzi is not talking about e-portfolios, but why
can’t I? I also want to think about digital archives here. I’m
interested in both of these things as mediums for reinvigorating
learning and promoting writing and literacy, especially in
community contexts. And they both represent possibilities within
collaborative writing that defies spatial, temporal, and disciplinary
constraints. ... This work is distributed—I have hard copies of
books that have literally been shipped from England for me to
digitize. This work brings together people from sociology and
comp/rhet backgrounds; working-class writers; French and English
speakers; college students and grown adults writing from their
WWII experiences. Without the digital platform and the idea of
distributed work, this experience would be impossible.
Sunday, April 14, 13
29. The second point that I brought up had to do with what Spinuzzi
says about surveillance. I love idea that we’ve moved from the
policing of the panopticon to the communal and mutually
participatory notion of the agora, where we collectively and
collaboratively “monitor each other and ourselves” (270).
Sunday, April 14, 13
30. I’m wondering though: When we think of authorship
and collaboration, how possible (or even beneficial) is it
to “monitor” ourselves? Where (or on what type of
authorship) should we draw the line? For instance, is
this democratic notion okay so long at it’s seemingly
low-stake writing (e-portfolios, archives, etc?) What
about in other genres and environments?
Another thing I’m thinking about but really don’t expect
an answer to come up any time soon is: even though I
advocate the uses of distributed work and authorship,
how can we be attentive to both the local/specific and
the transnational/global? Said another way, how can we
find balance between the stable individual environment
and a continually flowing network of disciplines, people,
texts, and ideas?
