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.
Here are tips to address the main challenges of open source code in product development!
72% of organizations make non-commercial use of open source code and 55% use it for commercial product development, - says The Linux Foundation survey on corporate open source programs.
As the product development processes need much more accurate approaches, businesses have to think of the ways to prevent future or fix current flaws in #opensource code.
Intetics outlines the key problems you may face while dealing with #opensourcecode. Read more in the blog post.

Implications of Open Source Software Use (or Let's Talk Open Source)Gail Murphy
A talk given to the UBC Computer Science Alumni group discussing a number of implications of the use of open source as part of the global software supply chain.

SciForge: Is your code worth a full citation?
Development of the software used for research at PIK is discussed in order to strengthen quality and reproducibility. Often, efforts put into good maintenance of software is not sufficiently recognised. However, the community is actively working on concepts and solutions enabling researchers to publish software, cite it and be credited for it.
Software must meet the quality criteria of the scientific discourse to be a valuable and citeable contribution to science. Solutions also need to be developed regarding versioning and documentation, traceability, reproducibility and reusability. Furthermore, the archiving of source code and executables, the use of persistent identifiers, and metrics measuring productivity, impact, and recognition have to be addressed.
SciForge is a network and a currently running project at GFZ addressing these questions. In the joint seminar, the current debate on scientific software publication will be presented and discussed.
Open source is gleefully rewriting the rules of IT development at all levels of industry and government. Adoption of open source in government is well underway, with success stories illustrating the benefits.
This decade we are going further - fostering a healthy, sustainable, working relationship between government and open source:
* This presentation digs into the flexibility of open source licensing and how government organizations can meet the challenges of developing with open source.
* We will look at the advantages of government participation in open source at the project, institutional, and foundation level.
Attend this talk to understand how your organization cannot only benefit from open source, but be open source.
In 2003 Dave et al. have coined the term “opinion mining” to refer to “processing a set of search results for a given item, generating a list of product attributes (quality, features, etc.) and aggregating opinions about each of them (poor, mixed, good)”. Nine years later, in 2012 Brooks and Swigger have applied sentiment analysis in the context of software engineering. Today another nine years have passed and it is time to look back: what have we achieved as a research community and where should we go next?
To answer this question we conducted a systematic literature review involving 185 papers. Based on the literature review we present 1) well-defined categories of opinion mining-related software development activities, 2) available opinion mining approaches, whether they are evaluated when adopted in other studies, and how their performance is compared, 3) available datasets for performance evaluation and tool customization, and 4) concerns or limitations SE researchers might need to take into account when applying/customizing these opinion mining techniques. The results of our study serve as references to choose suitable opinion mining tools for SE tasks, and provide critical insights for the further development of opinion mining techniques in the SE domain.
This work has been done together with Bin Lin, Gabriele Bavota and Michele Lanza from Università della Svizzera italiana, Switzerland, Nathan Cassee from Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands and Nicole Novielli from University of Bari, Italy.
Software that requires maintenance and evolution presumably has value that causes the producers of the software—individuals and organizations—to invest in these activities. Given that there is almost always more that any given software package or product can provide, software producers should be motivated in enabling maintenance and evolution activities and should be interested in the software engineering research efforts that are undertaken to address identified pain points. Yet, despite efforts by providers of research results (software engineering researchers) and interest by recipients (software producing individuals and organizations), a gap remains and too few research results make their way into use. In this keynote talk from ICSME 2021, I focus on research results that take the form of software tools for software producers and explore what this gap is and how the gap might be bridged. This exploration aims to provide some practical tips for how to orient research to create usable and useful software tools.

Title: Open Source and Public Policy
Abstract: New regulations in the software industry and adjacent areas such as AI, open science, open data, and open education are on the rise around the world. Cyber Security, societal impact of AI, data and privacy are paramount issues for legislators globally. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic drove collaborative development to unprecedented levels and took Open Source software, open research, open content and data from mainstream to main stage, creating tension between public benefit and citizen safety and security as legislators struggle to find a balance between open collaboration and protecting citizens.
Historically, the open source software community and foundations supporting its work have not engaged in policy discussions. Moving forward, thoughtful development of these important public policies whilst not harming our complex ecosystems requires an understanding of how our ecosystem operates. Ensuring stakeholders without historic benefit of representation in those discussions becomes paramount to that end.
Please join our open discussion with open policy stakeholders working constructively on current open policy topics. Our panelists will provide a view into how oss foundations and other open domain allies are now rising to this new challenge as well as seizing the opportunity to influence positive changes to the public’s benefit.
Topics: Public Policy, Open Science, Open Education, current legislation in the US and EU, US interest in OSS sustainability, intro to the Open Policy Alliance

Summit 16: Bridging Open Source & Open Standards - Oma Survey ResultsOPNFV
The traditional means of innovating the mobile network has been through the thoughtful and consensus based efforts of technologists working in a standards setting environment. However, the maturation of the Internet as an app platform and the related rise of Internet-enabled device and service providers, esp on the Web, have helped renew a focus on innovation and differentiation. The development of 5G networks and the Internet of Things (IoT) will employ a process likely to be dominated by agile development of technology and platform prototypes often in open source, collaborative projects, which put a premium on "code first.†In March 2016, OMA launched an industry-wide survey to study attitudes and industry needs for better collaboration between the SDOs that build specifications, and Open Source communities that would like to use them. In this session, OMA will present the results.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Randy
Metcalfe
open source is a copyright licensing paradigm
Either your software is released under an Open Source
Initiative (OSI) certified licence or it is not open source
software.
The first question you should ask of any software claiming
to be open source is, what licence is this software released
under?
11. What does

open source definition
http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php
free redistribution

integrity of the author’s source code
no discrimination against persons or groups
no discrimation against fields of endeavour
distribution of licence
licence must not be specific to a product
licence must not restrict other software
licence must be technology-neutral
12. What does

open source is about freedom
The freedom to run the program, for any purpose
The freedom to study how the program works, and
adapt it to your needs
The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your
neighbour
The freedom to improve the program, and release your
improvements to the public, so that the whole
community benefits

13. What does
open source
mean for the
institutional
web
manager?
Randy
Metcalfe
open source is a development methodology
Open source development may include:
programmer commitment, because the programmer is
also the user
rapid change, because programmers want to see
results
unconstrained specifications, because there is no
external client
collective maintainance of the code
response to change, dictated by (perhaps unexpected)
users
Eric Raymond famously characterised this apparent new
development paradigm in his monograph The Cathedral and
the Bazaar.
14. What does
open source
mean for the
institutional

manager?
Randy
Metcalfe
open source is about community
Those who merely deploy open source software are also
part of the open source community.
It’s the community, not the code, that’s important.
15. What does
open source
mean for the
institutional

manager?
Randy
Metcalfe
open source is a business model
Any business whose business model depends upon the use
or development of open source software is an open source
business.
This leaves plenty of room for many different types of
businesses:
consultation
business process analysis
implementation support
bespoke module development
ongoing support contractor
training
hosting
and more!

UK Government open source policy (1)
UK Government will consider OSS solutions alongside
proprietary ones in IT procurements. Contracts will be
awarded on a value for money basis.
UK Government will only use products for
interoperability that support open standards and
specifications in all future IT developments.
UK Government will seek to avoid lock-in to proprietary
IT products and services.

UK Government open source policy (2)
UK Government will consider obtaining full rights to
bespoke software code or customisations of
COTS(Commercial Off The Shelf) software it procures
wherever this achieves best value for money.
Publicly funded Research and Development projects
which aim to produce software outputs shall specify a
proposed software exploitation route at the start of the
project. At the completion of the project, the software
shall be exploited either commercially or within an
academic community or as OSS.
20. What does

JISC open source policy (1)
Advice and guidance to the communities JISC serves
must be neutral and unbiased, and must not
discriminate between open source and closed source
software products.
Calls for funding, the bidding process, the award of
funding, the administration of awarded funding and the
evaluation of funded projects and services must not
discriminate between between open source and closed
source software, unless the purpose of the projects or
services specifically requires it.
Where open source and closed source software are
evaluated against one another, value for money over
the expected lifetime of the system must be compared.
21. What does
open source
mean for the
institutional

manager?
Randy
Metcalfe
JISC open source policy (2)
Projects must maintain an IPR register, listing all
contributors to their software and who owns the
copyright on contributions.
The ownership of code which is to be developed in joint
projects must be established before work begins.
Copyright of software, documentation, design
materials, user interface and source code must be
released under an OSI-approved open source licence,
unless the bid explicitly argues why this should not be
the case and proposes an alternative licence.
22. What does
open source
mean for the

Randy
Metcalfe
JISC open source policy (3)
Projects must state in their bid whether they foresee the
project continuing beyond the timespan of funding, and
if so whom they see participating in the project.
Projects should engage with end users and other
parties to encourage and build self- sustaining
communities.
Projects should accept bug reports, patches,
translations and feedback from contributors outside the
project.

institutional engagement with open source
In October 2003, the open source virtual learning
environment (VLE) Moodle did not even register on OSS
Watch’s initial national scoping study.
