This document discusses open source software. It defines open source software as software where the source code is available to the public with a license that allows users to study, change and distribute the software. Open source software originated from the free software movement in 1983 and aims to enhance user freedoms. While common in the early computing era, open source software declined in popularity in the 1970s but has since grown with thousands of projects today. The document discusses how open source software functions by providing access to source code files before compilation. It also outlines some values of open source software like transparency and collaboration. Potential benefits of open source projects include problem solving, signaling quality, and self-production. Challenges include motivation and coordination problems across contributors.
Have you ever asked yourself how can you leverage open source for selling your products or services, attracting talent and innovating? In the first part of this lecture I’ll give a historical context about how open source has transformed the Software industry and changed the way we develop, collaborate, communicate, organize and think about business values. In the second part I will talk about open source opportunities, challenges and what it means to successfully plan and implement an open source project from the practical side. I will also share my own Open Source management experience at Intuit.
Presentation given at the eLearning Network's Open Source event on 12th July 2013, featuring top ten open source e-learning development and delivery tools.
Dr. Ibrahim Haddad, Head of Open Source Group, Samsung Research America, talks about Samsung's focus on improving it's open source leadership through contribution to key projects used in it's products.
Open source software drives efficiency and innovation, but affects your application stacks and introduces new challenges to keeping them highly available and performing. Find out about the hottest open source options and how they can help your organization achieve better uptime and performance levels. We also explore the tradeoffs of using open source software, how to evaluate and assess the available types, and the potential effects on your applications and infrastructure.
Apache or GPL? MIT or BSD? These are just some of the licenses that attach to open source software. Do you know the important distinctions between them?

Fundamentals of Free and Open Source SoftwareRoss Gardler
Introduction to the OSS Watch Business
and Sustainability Models Around Free and Open Source Software. this presentation doesn't deal with the business models, it introduces FOSS and the key licence types.
Open source is a program in which the source code is available to the general public for use and/or modification from its original design free of cost.
Open source software are the once whose licenses are not restrictive and if gives us the freedom to use the program for any purpose, modify it and distribute it for further use without having to pay for it.
Do you use, or plan to use in the next budget year, an open-source project or product as an alternative to commercial software?

Leveraging Community Engagement for Brand Engagement, 2012, presentationFlorent Renucci
L’évolution vers le web 2.0 pousse les e-commerçants à repenser leur business model : d’un contenu purement informationnel, on passe à une information échangée de manière bilatérale, le prospect devient aussi acteur.
Ceci pose la question de l’arbitrage entre les 2 types de contenus d’un site de e-commerce :
- le contenu généré par les utilisateurs ou User Generated Content (UGC),
- et le contenu éditorial ou Professional Generated Content (PGC).
L’un amène du trafic mais vend peu, l’autre vend beaucoup mais amène peu de trafic. Or le revenu total est le produit du nombre de visiteurs par le panier moyen. La modélisation des flux entre ces 2 types de contenus permet de mieux comprendre leur dynamique, en gardant pour objectif de maximiser au final la fonction profit.
C’est le sujet du séminaire que nous effectuons depuis Octobre 2012 au sein d’une équipe de l’INSEAD composée du Prof. Theodoros Evgeniou et de deux étudiants en thèse, Inyoung Chae et Kaifu Zhang.
Ici les "ventes" sont en fait l’affichage d’une publicité que le site fac- ture à ses sociétés clientes. L’acquisition d’un client est son inscription sur le site. La majorité du trafic sur le site se situe sur les sections UGC, alors que la publicité en ligne est facturée principalement sur les sections PGC. C’est donc un excellent exemple à étudier pour résoudre la problématique présentée.

Generalization of Principal Component Analysis, report, 2012Florent Renucci
Lorsque l'on dispose d'un échantillon de n observations, distribuées sur p features (donc une matrice de design n * p), il est possible qu'il existe un sous-espace, qui "décrive convenablement" (cette notion sera définie dans la suite) les données, en ayant diminué la dimension, donc en ayant simplifié l'analyse.
L'Analyse en Composantes Principales consiste en la recherche de ce sous-espace. La connaissance sur les données est quantifiée par la variance empirique. Plus cette variance est importante, plus les points de l'espace sont éloignés, et donc distinguables. On va donc chercher à réduire la dimension du problème, en général pour en simplifier l'étude, sous la contrainte de maximiser la variance obtenue dans l'espace sous-dimensionnel.

Dans tout système de transport de l'information, aussi perfectionné soit-il, des erreurs sont inévitables parce que fortuites ou de causes inconnues. Le rôle d'un code correcteur consiste donc à blinder l'information de départ afin d'en déceler et d'en corriger un maximum après réception.
Polynomial Regression on Riemannian Manifolds, presentation, 2012Florent Renucci
D’un point de vue général, la méthode statistique de régression consiste à estimer la relation mathématique entre un ensemble de variables, appelées variables explicatives ou descriptives ou indépendantes, et une variable observée ou mesurée. On cherche donc à déterminer, parmi une certaine classe de fonctions, la fonction qui décrive de façon optimale (en un certain sens) cette relation. La régression polynomiale consiste à estimer la relation entre variables explicatives et données observées à l’aide d’une fonction polynomiale de degré fixé k. Le nombre de paramètres inconnus est alors k + 1 et ils sont le plus souvent estimés en minimisant un critère des moindres carrés, qui est le carré de la distance euclidienne entre les valeurs observées et les valeurs prédites par le modèle polynomial. L’un des problèmes à résoudre dans ce contexte est évidemment le choix du degré du polynôme.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message

2. Introduction
Definition: the software source code and certain other rights
normally reserved for copyright holders are provided under an
open-source license that’s permits users to study, change,
improve and at times also to distribute the software.
Origins: the free software movement (1983)
Enhance freedoms of software users:
Run the software
Study and change the software
Redistribute copies with or without changes
Very common at the beginning of the computer era (1960’s), but
disappeared in the 70s (because of competition, and difficulty of
maintenance)
Worldwide OSS market: $1.6 billion in 2006, $5.8 billion in 2011
Thousands of projects today: mozilla firefox, open office, android…
3. Functioning of an OSS
Access to the source code… but what is a source code ?
Files before Compilation
Because after compilation (translation into
Binary code), we can’t access to that anymore.
4. Functioning of an OSS
With OSS:
If I want to change the software for my use, I can access to the files
written by the developer (which is not the case if I only have the
‘.exe’ file, already in binary language, for example)
If I want to check if the software is well secured (and doesn’t sent
my credit card numbers to the developer), I can. Or I also can trust
the community of developers that did it before me, if the software
is famous.
It is possible to create/use several declination of the same
software, depending on the needs.
5. Functioning of an OSS
The values behind OSS :
It is free (free = no cost, and free of use/modification)
Ethic : access to “generic” softwares (you don’t have to pay 300€ to open
a .docx file).
“copyleft” : respect of the work of the author
Allows creativity, collaboration, in constant improvement => innovation.
Security, transparence : you can know the recipe, you can’t be poisoned.
Respect the open standards (W3C, UTF-8…), in addition to the free
licenses.
6. Supplier of OSS
Tough OSS is not a proprietary software, here is a
list of some OSS project with the name of the
founder company*
*Challenges of open innovation: the paradox of firm investment in open-source software J.West 1 G.Gallager
7. Access To The Technology
•
A study released in August 2010 by
Accenture revealed that 98% of
companies use open source software
and that 29% contributes back to the
software.
•
These figures are going to increase in
the coming years
•
In addition to advantages such as the
low cost of using the software,
transparency, and flexibility, to use
open source software might have a
positive effect on the image of a
company as it carries values such as
team spirit and collaboration
Companies using OSS Vrs
Companies refusing to use it
Companies using open source

Companies not using open source

B. Advantages and Drawbacks
Advantages
•Ideal for people trying to start their own company, (costs
savings).
Free
Evolution /
integrate external
innovations
Easy to manipulate
•Unrestricted access anyone is able to use them, modify
them and as a new technological advance is made, it is
propagated. This will inevitably improve because of the
collaboration.
•You can go many upgrades and modifications by yourself
if you know a bit of programming. You don’t need to hire
professional programmers
•Learning skills for employees as participating in a software
development + integration of external innovation
Intrinsic benefit
No

No Support
Features ?
Hybrid
Strategies
Drawbacks
•Not everyone has the same motivation to work on OSS
•When buying a product with a license, after sale support
is provided.
•Some features that are developed are not adequate for all
types of businesses. Some others are needed and not
developed.
•Some firms developed hybrid strategies that combines
the benefits of the OSS with some of the control of
proprietary approaches. What about the others ??
11. Should FFTW use open source softwares?
Free use of IT resources (Open office…) => cost savings
Easy to procure – easy to integrate external innovation
Will enable FFTW to test some options before determining
more precisely its needs (test before you buy)
Reliable technology as it has been improved by many users
OSS are very popular on server application: enables to share
data among different departments
FFTW is building its IT department with limited resources and
knowledge
Using OSS is relevant
12. Should FFTW invest in OSS?
FFTW is a company that is building its IT department:
OSS is easy to change in order to fit better the business needs
Motivates IT people to work on a new, cutting edge software
But:
Regarding to flowers’ specific business, the community of developers is not large enough in
order to make open source collaboration beneficial
No technical and functional support in IT development, which can be a handicap with a
company without any IT knowledge
FFTW cannot afford to have weak or unstable IT regarding to its core business activities
FFTW is not an IT company: it won’t be able to make profit out of selling OSS-related products
Investing in OSS can be a cost rather than a benefit for FFTW
It is not a good investment, for a young and small company that is not IT oriented, to spend a lot of
money, time and people resources in OSS
