Produsage and Business: Sharing Your Brand with UsersAxel Bruns
1) The document discusses the shift from traditional producer-consumer models to "produsage," where consumers take on more active roles in producing and distributing content.
2) It proposes a model of "produsage" where users participate both as producers and consumers in an ongoing, iterative process of content creation.
3) The document outlines key principles for businesses to engage with produsage communities, such as being open, seeding community processes, supporting community dynamics, and avoiding exploiting the community.
The document discusses Creative Commons licenses and their usage in business. It explains that Creative Commons provides alternative copyright licenses to the traditional "all rights reserved" model. The licenses allow creators to retain copyright while letting others share, use, and build upon their work under certain conditions like requiring attribution. The document outlines the different types of Creative Commons licenses and provides examples of popular projects that use them, as well as limitations and how businesses can better utilize Creative Commons licensing.

Produsage: Towards a Broader Framework for User-Led Content CreationAxel Bruns
This document discusses the concept of "produsage", which refers to user-led content creation across various online domains such as open source software, blogs, wikis, social media, and more. It outlines some key characteristics of produsage, including open participation, fluid governance structures, unfinished works-in-progress, and common ownership of content. The author argues that produsage blurs traditional distinctions between producers, distributors, and consumers, and represents an emerging model of collaborative production enabled by digital networks and user participation.
The Future Is User-Led: The Path towards Widespread ProdusageAxel Bruns
The document discusses the emergence of "produsage", where users take an active role in producing and distributing content online through various means such as open source software, wikis, social media, and user-generated content. It outlines some key characteristics of produsage including open participation, fluid roles, unfinished works, and common property. The author argues this represents a shift beyond traditional models where producers, distributors, and consumers have distinct roles, and questions what this means for issues like intellectual property, trust, economics, and politics.
Produsage and Beyond: Exploring the Pro-Am InterfaceAxel Bruns
Staff Seminar
Thursday 29 Oct., 2-4 p.m.
Seminar Room, Journalism & Media Research Centre, 1-3 Eurimbla St (corner High St), Randwick
The concept of produsage (Bruns 2008) describes the user-led collaborative approach to content creation which is prevalent in open source, citizen journalism, and the Wikipedia, as well as many other social media spaces. While many produsage projects have emerged initially to challenge dominant players in industry, their successful establishment as viable and sustainable alternatives also opens the door for an exploration of manageable cooperative arrangements between industry and community. Many challenges remain for such Pro-Am (Leadbeater & Miller 2004) models, however - not least an often deep-seated sense of mutual distrust -, and successful Pro-Am models may be most likely to succeed when sponsored by trusted third parties (public broadcasters, NGOs). This presentation explores pitfalls and possibilities in the Pro-Am space.
The document provides an overview of innovation concepts including:
1) Lead user theory which posits that users with needs ahead of the general market are more likely to innovate solutions. These lead users can provide insights for manufacturers.
2) Information is "sticky" meaning it is costly to transfer, especially tacit knowledge. This stickiness affects where innovation occurs.
3) Toolkits can help overcome information stickiness by allowing users to solve needs-based problems in their own environment while manufacturers provide standardized solutions.
This document summarizes key points from a lecture on Red Hat and the open source software strategy problem:
1) Red Hat's primary focus is on corporate servers, not desktops, and developing customized middleware solutions for specific industries like financial services and government.
2) Open source software companies like Red Hat must find ways to capture value from "free" intellectual property by branding, licensing, or bundling it with products and services.
3) A long-term challenge for open source is proving its business model and incentives can keep developers contributing as competition increases from companies like Microsoft.
The document discusses the rise of Open Adoption Software (OAS). It defines OAS as software that is openly built by developers and partners, freely adopted by frontline developers, and embraces proprietary additions. The key drivers of OAS include powerful contributor networks, the need for speed and control, and users taking an "open-first" view. Many companies are now using OAS to remodel their IT stacks from the floor to the ceiling. OAS companies can enjoy rapid adoption through communities and become valued at billions, serving both tech and non-tech companies. The document outlines the typical phases and funding stages of OAS companies.
1. The document discusses the history of disruption in the entertainment industry from technologies like the VCR and compares it to the disruption caused by open source software. It examines perspectives from Alan Greenspan, Jack Valenti, and Bill Gates on the threats posed by new technologies.
2. The document then provides an overview of how open source software works, including the roles of core developers, bug fixers, and users. It also discusses the importance of licensing and modularity for open source success.
3. The document concludes with a discussion of different business strategies companies can take with open source, including running the innovation race, embracing commoditization, dual licensing, and changing rules through software as a service models.

Teaching the Produsers: Preparing Students for User-Led Content ProductionAxel Bruns
The document discusses the emergence of user-led content production, where users actively create and share content online through means such as open source software, blogs, wikis, and social media. This represents a shift to "produsage", where the roles of producer, distributor, and consumer are blurred as users take on active roles in content creation. It argues that education needs to prepare students for this new paradigm by cultivating skills like creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication.
The document discusses considerations for adopting new technologies like the internet. It emphasizes having clear goals aligned with business objectives, understanding the target audience, and developing a plan to address challenges or opportunities in phases rather than trying to do everything at once. Effective strategies focus on specific goals like listening to customers, engaging enthusiasts, or supporting users rather than just copying competitors or creating an online presence for its own sake.
This document provides an outline and summary of the key topics from the MIT course "15.912 Technology Strategy". The course covers strategy fundamentals related to creating, capturing, and delivering value. It then focuses on technology strategy, exploring how technologies evolve and how to determine if a technology serves an addressable market. Key concepts discussed include uniqueness in controlling knowledge from an innovation, and holding complementary assets to maximize profits from innovating. The course also examines platforms and network effects, and how organizations can manage platforms and ecosystems to capture and deliver value.
Loftyinc Allied Partners Limited is a venture capital firm focused on incubating startups in four sectors: life sciences, technology, media, and energy. It provides resources like funding, management direction, and business development to startups and partner organizations. Its mission is to invest in innovative ideas and entrepreneurs to create jobs and economic growth while benefiting society. It has seeded three startups so far and has patents pending, with portfolio companies in various industries.
To win in today's fast-paced and hyper-competitive business environment, companies must learn to collaborate and partner extensively to innovate cost-effectively and sustainably under severe resource constraints. In this engaging presentation, Navi will unveil a groundbreaking business paradigm: Frugal Innovation. Frugal innovation is the ability to actively engage internal and external partners to do more with less: that is, to co-create significantly more business and social value for the entire ecosystem while minimizing use of increasingly limited resources. Thousands of inventive firms in resource-constrained emerging markets like India, China, Africa, and Brazil apply frugal innovation techniques to co-develop with partners affordable and sustainable solutions that deliver more value to customers at lower cost. These innovators extensively leverage public, private, and non-profit partnerships throughout the entire product development cycle. In this keynote, Navi will vividly describe how frugal innovation is practiced today by leading firms worldwide, and show how you can apply new collaborative tools, techniques and mindset to deeply engage partners to address the needs of cost-conscious and eco-aware consumers worldwide.

The Innovation Partnership Program is a 4-day program delivered by X PRIZE Foundation and Singularity University aimed at helping large companies transition to more innovative, exponential organizations. The program exposes company executives to emerging technologies through presentations and teaches methods for leveraging crowdsourcing and incentive competitions to drive innovation. Participants work to develop concepts for prizes and tools their companies can use to solve problems more quickly and at lower cost. The goal is for companies to return with new approaches to drive breakthroughs.
The document discusses open source trends and their relevance to healthcare. It outlines how perceptions of open source have changed from seeing it as "socialist" to widespread adoption. It describes trends like increasing open source projects and investments, inner sourcing practices within companies, and the growth of "super communities" around industry platforms. Foundations that manage various open source projects are also discussed.
The 3M initiative originated in Austria with the goal of promoting innovation. It created an online open innovation platform called "Zukunft-Innovation" to stimulate innovative ideas. The platform allows companies to post issues, individuals to submit ideas, and the best concepts are developed into innovations. Since launching in 2010, it has attracted over 700 innovators who have submitted hundreds of ideas and concepts. Several large companies are using the platform for open innovation.
The document proposes a business-oriented social network called WeSpline that connects enterprises, startups, and other players in the technology ecosystem. It aims to address the fragmented and inefficient process of enterprises discovering innovative technologies and startups finding clients. The network will use intelligent algorithms to help users search, learn about, and communicate with each other across the globe, saving them time and money. It will launch initially in the US, Israel, and Brazil targeting industries like cybersecurity and logistics tech. Revenue will come from premium subscriptions and ads on the network.
This document discusses community driven innovation and open source communities. It describes how community can be used as a business, marketing, and development strategy. It provides examples of how Eclipse and Taobao built large open source communities that helped them become leaders in their markets. The document also discusses challenges of building open source communities in China due to differences from Western cultures in areas like relationships and communication styles.

"Open Source and the Evolution of Communication" by Zak Greant @ eLiberatica ...eLiberatica
The document discusses the evolution of communication through three revolutions: human language, programs (languages for machines), and the Internet. It defines free software and open source as software that users have the freedom to run, study, copy, modify, and share. The document also notes how programs allow machines to transform humans by acting as runnable versions of human skills, and how the Internet allows global broadcasting of those skills.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
In our second session, we shall learn all about the main features and fundamentals of UiPath Studio that enable us to use the building blocks for any automation project.

QR Secure: A Hybrid Approach Using Machine Learning and Security Validation F...AlexanderRichford
QR Secure: A Hybrid Approach Using Machine Learning and Security Validation Functions to Prevent Interaction with Malicious QR Codes.
Aim of the Study: The goal of this research was to develop a robust hybrid approach for identifying malicious and insecure URLs derived from QR codes, ensuring safe interactions.
This is achieved through:
Machine Learning Model: Predicts the likelihood of a URL being malicious.
Security Validation Functions: Ensures the derived URL has a valid certificate and proper URL format.
This innovative blend of technology aims to enhance cybersecurity measures and protect users from potential threats hidden within QR codes 🖥 🔒
This study was my first introduction to using ML which has shown me the immense potential of ML in creating more secure digital environments!
ScyllaDB is making a major architecture shift. We’re moving from vNode replication to tablets – fragments of tables that are distributed independently, enabling dynamic data distribution and extreme elasticity.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

24. Advise to corporates: Learn the “Microsoft trick”
In most countries donations to a charity organisation are deductible from taxation
Microsoft and others do that:
>> Give you software packages to non-profits for free (preferably the most expensive ones)
- No costs involved – reproduction costs for the software nears zero.
- Enslave even bigger part of the market and keep competitors away.
- Keep non-profits away from Open Source.
- Get great public relation without any marketing expenses.
>> Generate cash by doing virtually nothing!
(not paying taxes is earning money).
“Microsoft trick” applied within the War model
25. Apply the “Microsoft trick” to make money and improve the world
>> Set up non-profit organisation or use an existing one
>> Donate development hours to this organisation
(e.g. your development overcapacity)
>> Develop within these hours great Open Source products
(software, hardware, creative work, everything)
>> Release these products to the whole world
>> Make world better and earn money on that!
This works very good in economic downturn, but will remain working for high-days too.
Or even better.
Utilize “Microsoft trick” within the Open model !
26. Proprietary: Open Source:
