Governance for Software
•
0 likes•243 views
The document discusses several key aspects of project governance, ownership, exploitation, and funding for software projects, including: 1) Governance models can range from a single leader to a meritocratic model, and the level of control needs to balance the originator's vision with expanding contribution. 2) Ownership is usually defined by copyright, but gets complicated with many contributors; contribution agreements and a single custodian can help define ownership and accountability. 3) Exploitation considers how the software can move forward commercially or as open source, targeting current and potential new users as well as integrators and partners. 4) Funding can come from grants, donations, services, licensing, or spin-

Library Vendor Negotiation Research Report
This document summarizes the results of a survey on library vendor negotiations. Over 1000 library professionals completed the anonymous survey. Key findings include:
- Most libraries have flat or shrinking budgets but increasing expenditures on electronic resources like ebooks and journals.
- The majority of negotiations are handled by committees rather than individuals.
- Few libraries have a dedicated licensing position and most negotiators receive training infrequently or not at all.
- Most libraries do not have a documented negotiation process.

The document discusses opportunities for greater involvement of third sector organizations (TSOs) in commissioning and procurement by local governments. It outlines barriers currently facing TSOs, such as short-term funding and unrealistic contract requirements. The document proposes following principles of good commissioning, including understanding user needs by engaging with TSOs, putting user outcomes at the heart of the process, and ensuring fair and transparent contracting. Adopting these principles and addressing barriers could help maximize the benefits TSOs provide, such as specialized expertise and services to hard-to-reach groups, leading to better outcomes for communities.

The Internet of Things & Open Data: New forms of business?
The document discusses open source software adoption in governments. It notes that while many governments have strategies supporting open source, these strategies are not always put into practice. It analyzes some of the reasons for this gap, such as culture, legacy systems, costs, and risks. It also discusses benefits of open source like flexibility, transparency, and building expertise. The document calls for a pragmatic approach to open source adoption based on real needs rather than ideology alone. It emphasizes that political will, procurement policies, and building relationships will be important to increasing adoption.

ILTA 2011 Integration Of Legal Technology
The document discusses the integration of legal technology and legal services. It notes that advances in technology are creating new efficiencies but also a gap between legal and technology professionals. Both lawyers and technology teams want different things from systems - lawyers prioritize costs and strategies while IT focuses on storage, security and maintenance. There is a need for better alignment between these perspectives to implement new technology solutions effectively.
Outbound Licensing Strategies: Is Open Source the Right Model for Your Company?
In the past, companies that invested heavily in software development had the objective of either licensing that software commercially, or enhancing their internal IT environments. There is now a third option: releasing that code under an open source license in order to encourage industry-wide adoption of its functionality, gain valuable input from external experts, and better integrate that software with other common components.
Why Choose the Nalpeiron Licensing Service vs. Building Your Own
Historically many ISVs have built their own licensing due to lack of flexible or cost-effective enough solutions to their needs, but with the advent of standards today, such as web services and new vendors like Nalpeiron who offer a modern hosted paradigm, many of those previous barriers to outsourcing have been removed.
So why has licensing lagged behind?

Managing Community Open Source Brands
In the modern open source world, where licenses and DVCS’ allow instant and infinite forking, the only true control point for a community-based open source project is its name, its logo, and its identity. Your brand is your identity: this is how the rest of the world sees you and your project.
How can a volunteer-led open source project control it’s own identity and brand? How do you manage your project’s brand when most of your volunteers are coders who don’t want to get involved with lawyers or deal with enforcing trademarks? How can the community keep their brand independent and free of commercial influence, so they can ensure the maximum number of people and corporations are interested in participating in their project?
Similarly, how can businesses respectfully use open source brands to their own advantage – without being seen as co-opting and independent or open community open source project solely for their own gain? The desire to control the next hot project for your profit may quickly turn on you when another company simply forks the code under a better marketed service.
Learn the basics of all these topics and more with Shane Curcuru, who volunteers as Vice President, Brand Management for The Apache Software Foundation. Over the past few years Shane has led a group of volunteer ASF Members to define and implement a consistent brand policy for all 100 Apache projects – spanning from the veritable HTTPD and Tomcat to the newest CouchDB and Hadoop.
Surviving the Software Selection Process
I presented at a CMA Ontario professional development event to 50+ attendees on Dec 3, 2009, and again on Dec 17, 2009 due to a sold out first session with an accompanying waiting list. I shared insights and approaches with the attendees to help them find opportunities to reduce the costs, risks, and time associated with software evaluation and selection. I was then asked to write an article on the topic for the CMA Ontario Member Newsletter because of the high level of interest from their members - published on Jan 2010.
Build_Buy_StreamAnalytix_WhitePaper
The document discusses the tradeoffs involved in the decision to build a real-time streaming analytics (RTSA) platform in-house versus buying a pre-built solution from a vendor. Building internally provides more customization and control but risks delays and lack of expertise, while buying from a vendor is faster to implement but risks vendor lock-in. The document proposes a third alternative of using a platform like StreamAnalytix that is based on open source technologies but also provides enterprise-level support.
Master Contract Review and Negotiation For Software Agreements-sample
Your Challenge
Internal stakeholders usually have different – and often conflicting – needs and expectations that require careful facilitation and management.
Vendors have well-honed negotiating strategies. Without understanding your own position and leverage points, it’s difficult to withstand their persuasive – and sometimes pushy – tactics.
Software – and software licensing – is constantly changing, making it difficult to acquire and retain subject matter expertise.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
Conservatively, it’s possible to save 5% of the overall IT budget through comprehensive software contract review.
Focus on the terms and conditions, not just the price.
Learning to negotiate is crucial.
Impact and Result
Look at your contract holistically to find cost savings.
Guide communication between vendors and your organization for the duration of contract negotiations.
Redline the terms and conditions of your software contract.
Prioritize crucial terms and conditions to negotiate.
Standards Development
Standards development involves determining if a new standard is needed or existing standards can be used, and how a new standard may impact the company's market share and the overall market size. A company must consider its own strategies and products as well as competitors' strategies. It should participate in relevant Standards Developing Organizations and understand the intellectual property requirements. Developing a new standard depends on the specific SDO and can involve meetings, travel, voting, fees, and procedures, taking 1.5 years or more of monitoring or active contributing of 3-5x more effort than just monitoring. Consultation can help determine the best standards development strategy.
UCSF Life Sciences: Week 6 Digital health: Partners
This document summarizes a presentation about partnerships for digital health startups. It discusses why corporations partner with startups (access to technology, branding, economics) and why startups partner with corporations (access to data, funding, customers). The presentation outlines different types of partnerships like strategic alliances, joint business development, key suppliers, and traffic partners. It provides advice on finding the right partner and risks to consider in partnerships like impedance mismatch and customer relationship issues. Students are asked to identify specific partners and partnerships for their companies and consider pros and cons from the partners' point of view.
Essay #2 ethical considerations
The document discusses ethical considerations around the use of open-source software. It notes that while developers can use open-source code to further their own projects, they must give proper credit to the original creators. When credit is not given, it can be seen as theft. The document examines the perspectives of utilitarianism and deontology on how to address uncredited use of open-source code. A utilitarian view would favor moderate actions to avoid lawsuits that could financially harm companies. A deontological view would support enforcing guidelines to prevent treating open-source creators as a means to an end and to ensure they receive proper recognition. The document concludes that a middle-ground approach is needed, such as voluntary codes of conduct, to

Transforming Your Company with Open Source
How do you get past incremental change to real transformation with open source? Most conventional advice focuses on just one dimension at a time: people, process, business or technology. To get breakthrough results, you need to view these dimensions as part of an integrated whole, and consciously address two or more of them simultaneously. Using examples from Enterprise IT experience, we’ll explore how you can tap your organization’s strengths in a variety of ways to achieve these goals.

Informed Individual
This document proposes a model for providing individuals with aggregated and personalized information to make more informed choices. It suggests separating information collection, interpretation, and distribution. Contributors would collect various types of data and store it. Filters would then be used to aggregate and present relevant information to individuals through applications. This would empower individuals by making more information transparent and accessible at the point of decision making. It could influence individual choices and behaviors in a way that addresses social and environmental issues.

Adopting Open Source Software for Longer-term Reuse
This document provides guidance on carefully selecting open source software for adoption and long-term reuse. It emphasizes the importance of evaluating several key factors, such as whether the software meets functional requirements both currently and for the future, has an active user and developer community, provides good documentation and support, remains up to date and interoperable with standards, and has a development roadmap that indicates ongoing support. The document advises asking the developer community questions and provides an example of thoroughly evaluating the Taverna workflow system based on these criteria.

Issue Tracking
Issue tracking allows organizations to manage changes and bugs in an ordered way. An issue can represent any query, occurrence, or task that may impact a project, such as a software bug, request for change, or action item from a meeting. When an issue is reported, it goes through a typical workflow of being assigned, accepted, worked on, and eventually closed or reopened. Popular open source bug trackers include Bugzilla, Trac, and JIRA, with Trac being a good example of a lightweight yet powerful option that allows cross-referencing with wikis and version control systems.
Supporting Software
The document discusses expanding support for software users by providing multiple avenues of help including email lists, FAQs, tutorials, a public issue tracker, and chat rooms. It emphasizes being honest about quality of service commitments like response times, supported platforms and issue scope, as well as types of support offered such as general help or tailored solutions. Alternative resources are suggested to help users help each other through a public archive and code drops while still ensuring individual requests are addressed.
Managing Code in Repositories
The document discusses code repositories and recommends hosting code online for open source projects. It describes how code repositories provide a safe place to store code, manage changes, and collaborate. It then discusses local versus internet repositories and recommends internet repositories for open source projects to avoid hosting burdens. Several popular online repositories are described, including SourceForge, Google Code, and GitHub.
Planning your project
Planning is essential for any project that produces software, even if it is research-oriented. Development plans should be detailed enough to provide guidance but not constrain the project. The plan should be useful to the project team and use tools that work best for the individuals involved. The plan should set regular milestones to release work in progress and review progress without locking in scope too early. A product-based approach to planning breaks work down into components that can be estimated, and the plan should include testing, integration, documentation, and release tasks.
