Instead of prevaricating around the existing business models that are prevalent and practiced at large, when it comes to open-source software, I intend to explore another dimension of it. Conventional approaches leave the open-source business model struggling to monetize or be a “pseudo-open source” company with monetizing methods that prevent real access in practicality. A company relying on donations or subsidiary forms of income such as training, may not be able to sustain long term, as it may spend the corpus to keep it running to exhaustion, in most cases funding arriving a little too late. Most open-source companies that survive today, are with the backing of heavily funded supporters. (...)

Presented by Josh Morse, Tonya McCarley, and Chris Farnum on April 2nd, 2009 at the IUE2009 Conference in Ann Arbor. ABSTRACT Finding the right tool for the job of constructing wireframes and specifications has been a longtime challenge for User Experience professionals. The longtime standby combination of Visio, Word, and Excel has prompted many to ask "is there a better way?" In recent years, a new generation of tools has emerged that promises improved productivity and integration for IAs. But there are costs to making changes to the established methodologies in our organizations. At Enlighten, the Information Architecture (IA) team recently transitioned from a work flow based on Microsoft Word and Visio to one based on Axure RP. In this presentation we will discuss the issues we considered while making the switch, three examples of projects that Axure made a difference for, and finally some of the issues we encountered and the challenges still facing us.

Integrating accessibility in the organization's web development lifecycle

AccessibilitéWeb

Web accessibility standards introduce inclusion concerns for people with disabilities that disrupt traditional patterns within organizations. These standards challenge development practices that are often considered to be tried and true. Introducing these guidelines to a web development team leads to changes in practices that may jeopardize a project's profitability. While accessibility principles are generally not difficult to implement, the amount of details to consider while doing so is significant and therefore, the risks of falling into certain traps abound. Based on a theoretical workflow model anyone can relate to, this training session will explain how Web accessibility, unlike other Web-related practices, is characterized by the fact that it influences every aspect of the web development lifecycle. This means that accessibility is not just another specialist the project manager needs to squeeze in the traditional process. Rather, web accessibility requires every member of the team to understand the requirements that may affect the work they do in order to ensure that proper decisions are being made at the best possible time in the project. The training session will conclude with a distribution of WCAG 2.0's success criteria, based on the responsibilities each individual holds within the development team. Sharing these requirements between team members will ensure the success of the accessibility goals in all phases of production.

Creating Authentic Value: Open Source vs. Open Core

Deborah Bryant

Recent emphasis on cloud technologies has brought a lot of attention to how software companies work in today’s business and technical environments. Some companies have chosen to try to protect their software through creative licenses. Unlike open source, where value is placed on community, collaboration, and services, open core businesses place their value on software features. Red Hat’s successful experience as a completely open source company has shown that value is not in the code, but in the support and expertise by being a part of a true community. In this talk, Red Hat’s Deb Bryant will share observations and cautionary tales from the world’s most successful open source company on how the idea of open core has time and again been demonstrated to not be truly open, limits community innovation, and delivers essentially proprietary software to customers

From Vision To Product

Stefano Leli

La comunicazione tra le persone è il primo valore dell’Agile. Trasmettere la vision di un’idea è molto difficile. Attraverso i Canvas è possibile non solo condividere la vision ma anche il viaggio che porterà alla realizzazione dell’intero prodotto. Adottando i vari Canvas come il Business Model Canvas, il Lean Canvas e il Product Canvas è possibile definire e condividere le ipotesi iniziali, validarle sul mercato misurando i risultati e confrontarle con i risultati attesi. I Canvas quindi non solo ci aiutano nella parte iniziale del progetto ma ci accompagnano per tutto il ciclo di vita del prodotto evolvendo con esso. Questi concetti non sono strettamente legati al software ma possono essere applicati in contesti differenti. Durante questo workshop vedremo insieme come, partendo da un’idea, si possa realizzare un prototipo di applicazione mobile in meno di due ore… il tutto sotto forma di gioco.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)

Ralf Eggert

In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development. This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical Futures

Bhaskar Mitra

The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support

Alan 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.
