The document discusses various models of support for open source software (FOSS), including paid support options as well as community-based support. It outlines different types of community support like mailing lists, forums, and IRC channels. The key benefits of community support are its low cost and ability to provide quick answers from a diverse set of users. However, community support can be unpredictable in terms of response times and whether issues get resolved. The document encourages becoming involved in FOSS communities by contributing answers and code in order to receive more support in return.

FOSS Foundations Enable Community GrowthStephen Walli
A talk I gave at Open World Forum 2011, Paris. FOSS projects grow until they reach a certain size but can grow no further. FOSS Foundations enable projects to grow to reach their potential by providing the legal structures and tools to enable corporate contribution and wider adoption. This talk looks at a brief history of foundations in the FOSS space, and what tools they provide to help community projects grow.

Why Good Software Sometimes Dies... and how to save itNeil Chue Hong
A talk given by Neil Chue Hong at the JISC Innovation Forum 08 on software sustainability and the issues, challenges and potential solutions to improve the longevity and uptake of your research software.

Open Source Content Management Systems for Small and Medium Businesses, Chari...Will Hall
How can open source CMS's meet the particular challenges that running SME's, NGO's or charities involve? Whether you run a small business, non-governmental organisation or charity, the potential for spending hundreds of thousands of pound on software to assist with the running of your business is untenable, however, how far can open-source software (and particularly content management systems) enable your business to evolve, thrive and even surpass your expectations. In my presentation I intend to discuss; what your content is and how to use it to your advantage when running a complex operation with limited resources. The advantages and disadvantages of utilising open source software and how you can leverage the community to gain support and expertise. What the future for open source projects are and how you can ensure your business/organisation/charity can continue its work into Web 3.0
Ubuntu Code of Conduct Ubuntu is an African concep.docxmarilucorr
Ubuntu Code of Conduct
Ubuntu is an African concept of 'humanity towards others'. It is the 'belief in a universal
bond of sharing that connects all humanity'. The same ideas are central to the way the
Ubuntu community collaborates. Members of the Ubuntu community need to work
together effectively, and this code of conduct lays down the ground rules for our
cooperation. We chose the name Ubuntu for our operating system because we think it
captures perfectly the spirit of the sharing and cooperation that is at the heart of the open-
source movement. In the free software world, we collaborate freely on a volunteer basis
to build software for everyone's benefit. We improve on the work of others, which we
have been given freely, and then share our improvements on the same basis. That
collaboration depends on good relationships between developers. To this end, we've
agreed on the following code of conduct to help define the ways that we think
collaboration and cooperation should work. If you wish to sign the code of conduct, you
can sign the canonical copy online This code of conduct covers our behaviour as
members of the Ubuntu Community, in any forum, mailing list, wiki, website, Internet
relay chat (IRC) channel, install-fest, public meeting or private correspondence. Ubuntu
governance bodies are ultimately accountable to the Ubuntu Community Council and will
arbitrate in any dispute over the conduct of a member of the community.
• Be considerate. Our work will be used by other people, and we in turn will
depend on the work of others. Any decision we take will affect users and
colleagues, and we should take those consequences into account when making
decisions. Ubuntu has millions of users and thousands of contributors. Even if it's
not obvious at the time, our contributions to Ubuntu will impact the work of
others. For example, changes to code, infrastructure, policy, documentation and
translations during a release may negatively impact others' work.
• Be respectful. The Ubuntu community and its members treat one another with
respect. Everyone can make a valuable contribution to Ubuntu. We may not
always agree, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behaviour and poor
manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot
allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It's important to remember that
a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive
one. We expect members of the Ubuntu community to be respectful when dealing
with other contributors as well as with people outside the Ubuntu project and with
users of Ubuntu.
• Be collaborative. Collaboration is central to Ubuntu and to the larger free
software community. We encourage individuals and teams to work together
whether inside or outside the Ubuntu Project. This collaboration reduces
redundancy, and improves the quality of our work. Internally and externally, we
should always be op ...
