I this talk, I explore the importance of open source software beyond the typical arguments of free (cost) in a broader context of how society as a whole can benefit.
Transformed media landscape - and how we can make best use of itcentrumcyfrowe
The document discusses how the media landscape has been transformed by the internet and new technologies. Key points include:
1. The internet has created a new form of mass-self communication that is interactive, horizontal and allows many-to-many communication in real-time.
2. Web 2.0 and social media have enabled a new form of civil society through ubiquitous communication and sharing of images, sounds and ideas.
3. Commons-based peer production has created a new economic model where large projects are completed through coordinated creative effort, often without traditional hierarchy or financial compensation.

Networks, swarms and policy: what collective intelligence means for policy ma...Alberto Cottica
Policy makers are taking up network thinking; citizens are self-organizing in smart swarms displaying collectivley intelligent behaviour. I address the implications of these phenomena for policy making, and look at some tools being built by a project called CATALYST that might help both citizens and policy makers.
This document discusses 4 trends that are impacting business and society: organized civil society, the net generation, lifelong learning, and crowdsourcing. It notes that our social and economic evolution occurs in jumps between "new normals" triggered by new languages and technologies. Examples given include the languages of participatory democracy created by movements like Occupy Wall Street, and the net generation that views knowledge as available on the network. Lifelong learning is enhanced by interaction on discussion forums and crowdsourcing knowledge. The opportunity exists to manage networks and knowledge as a commons and cognitive resource through principles of network learning, communities of practice, and empowering influencers as "connectors" across organizations.
The internet is obviously the basis of online activism, it acts as a way for groups and like-minded individuals to connect with one another, as well as being a way for organisations to be able to mobolise internationally for 'Global days of action'

The document discusses the history and development of social media and connectivity online. It notes that initially, users were drawn to social media sites to fulfill a need for human connection (paragraph 1). This connectivity then allowed platforms to build profitable online markets. After the creation of the World Wide Web in 1991, more interactive and two-way platforms for online social connections emerged after 2000 (paragraph 2). Everything once shared privately, like family photos, became publicly shared. The document outlines different types of social media and discusses how platforms and social practices evolved together. It also notes how connectivity became quantifiable through metrics like likes and followers (paragraph 3). While early platforms encouraged participation and peer production, they became larger and harder to regulate after 2005 as
The document discusses facts about computer programming, eBay transactions, the first computer invented by Konrad Zuse, the history of email being older than the World Wide Web, and the current number of people on the Internet. It also includes quotes about computers being tools to realize dreams but not replacing human qualities, computer science not being about computers just like astronomy is not about telescopes, access to computers and the internet being a basic need for education, and software needing real-world use and failures to work well.

Revitalizing democracy - the power of online toolsMadarasz Csaba
The document discusses how new technologies can help revitalize democracy by reducing information inequalities. It profiles several civic technology organizations that are developing tools to promote government transparency and public participation. These include platforms for online deliberation, freedom of information requests, reporting local issues, and monitoring elected representatives. While technology alone cannot improve democracy, open-source tools provided by civic groups and businesses can support innovative practices and shift power dynamics if adopted by governments. Overall, the document is optimistic that grassroots democratic innovations made possible by new information technologies have potential to positively impact official political processes.
Joey Coleman - Building an Open Data Ecosystem for all to access#DevTO
How do we build open data so it is accessible to all citizens and not just those with specialized skills such as information management or coding? In Hamilton, municipal open data is being implemented because of advocacy among neighbourhood associations and community groups, not solely from the developer community, with the goal of ensuring all citizens can use open data. It’s a unique partnership – what does it mean for open data, open government, and civic engagement? Join this discussion as we explore the question.
How i learned to stop worrying and love big data machinesAnthony Behan
Presentation delivered to CorkCon 2016, an IBM Internal Conference on Ideas and Creativity. This presentation summarises my research on politics and big data, on technology and the state, and on the automation of government. Is it technics out of control? Or are we on the threshold of a great new age?
The document traces the history and development of the internet from its early beginnings in the late 1950s through to the 1980s. It discusses how the internet evolved from isolated computer networks used for military, commercial, and scientific purposes to a common language allowing all computers to communicate globally. The rise of commercial internet companies in the 1980s is also mentioned, though many failed initially as adoption was more gradual than predicted.
This document discusses several ideas and projects related to using technology and crowdsourcing to solve social problems and make communities more accessible. These include developing tools for accessibility information, open data initiatives, mapping volunteer delivery routes by bike, and creating apps to encourage exploration and civic participation. Many of the ideas focus on how digital tools can complement physical community engagement and problem solving.
The document discusses the utopian and dystopian views of the internet and technology. It explores how the internet has transformed society in a short period of time through widespread adoption. While some see opportunities for democracy and organization, others worry technology could increase control over individuals and exacerbate human problems. The document also addresses issues like the digital divide and knowledge divide, participatory design, and using technology and the internet for social justice goals.
John Waclawsky's presentation at eComm 2008eeComm2008
The document discusses emerging technology trends related to increasing connectivity and the growing number of wireless technologies being integrated into mobile devices. It predicts that future mobile devices will have 7 or more radios and antennas to support various connectivity options simultaneously. This raises issues around how to manage and control the flexibility of connecting to different networks. The document also discusses how peer-to-peer networks could help address this by providing connectivity at both short and long distances through independent networks.
This paper intends to show a positive view on changes occurring in communities and social relationships in the age of the network society. With the emergence of new technologies, the meaning of “community” is changing from the traditional neighborhood community, to a group of people that are more tied together in terms of social networks, connected through various networks including computer networks. The hypothesis is that in such communities there are formations of weak ties that connect people with different social backgrounds or communities and thus bring in useful information and connections into one’s life. The effect of weak ties is also significant in process of innovations, which enables small contributions by a large number of people in order to complete a task or an event. Despite early criticism that network society would fragment social ties and families, this essay will explain the positive side of the changes.
The document discusses how information and communication technologies (ICTs) have increased global connectivity and access to information. It notes that 79% of U.S. adults now use the internet and there are over 5 billion mobile phone users worldwide. ICTs allow for research, collaboration, and cooperation across geographic boundaries. The document emphasizes that social networks can provide informal learning opportunities, testing grounds for new ideas, and peer learning through expanding one's networks beyond close friends to access new resources and innovation. Finally, it suggests that communities can harness social networking tools online to facilitate participation and innovation offline in areas like participatory budgeting and community development.

The document proposes creating a virtual political party to address three problems with Canadian politics: 1) Politics are too expensive due to reliance on fundraising, 2) Politics are too polarized along left/right lines, and 3) People feel disconnected from politicians. The virtual party would leverage the web to enable mass participation, facilitate civil debates, and generate consensus-based policy proposals to present in the next federal election with the goals of improving accessibility of politics and rejuvenating government. It calls for volunteers with various skills to help launch the initiative.
We media refers to using technology to reach an audience without traditional media industry support. It includes blogs, forums, mailing lists, and social media which allow individuals to produce and distribute content. The internet has upended traditional media business models and created a more democratic media environment where consumers can also be producers. While traditional media is still influential, platforms like Facebook show how individual users can now generate widely shared content that was once the domain of major media institutions.
The document discusses the history and growth of the Internet. It began as a military project to connect computer networks around the world for continuous communication. Over the years, universities, governments, and businesses began using the Internet and email to link remote locations. Now, millions of users access information and services on the Internet every day, which can be done with basic computer hardware and Internet software.

This document demonstrates how to reconcile two similar but not identical spreadsheets using R. It creates sample datasets from a source spreadsheet, called spreadsheet A and B. It then uses dplyr functions like union, intersect, and setdiff to combine the datasets, find common rows, and identify unique rows in each spreadsheet. This allows identifying differences between the spreadsheets and reconciling the data in a few lines of code.
This document discusses measurement systems for blending bunker fuel. It introduces Cameron, a global manufacturer of measurement and processing equipment, and Jiskoot, a high accuracy measurement specialist.

Testing in a continuous delivery world - continuous delivery Amsterdam meetupWouter Lagerweij
The document discusses different types of testing approaches that are useful in a continuous delivery environment, including test-driven development (TDD), acceptance test-driven development (ATDD), behavior-driven development (BDD), specification by example, exploratory testing in production, infrastructure tests, business tests, and hypothesis driven development. It also provides links to additional resources on microservice testing and the potential harms of end-to-end testing.
The document summarizes a talk given by Mike Linksvayer on collaborative futures and how increasing collaboration through open licensing and peer production can help create positive futures. It discusses how Creative Commons licenses work to enable widespread sharing and collaboration. It also notes many benefits of open collaboration including increased innovation, security, and participation. The talk argues for continued building of the digital commons to facilitate collective intelligence and ensure freedom remains online.
This document discusses free and open source software (FOSS) and the role of library and information science (LIS) professionals in the contemporary open source movement. It covers the philosophy of FOSS, emphasizing freedom and community-based development. Techniques for developing FOSS include scratching an itch to solve a problem, using mailing lists to facilitate communication, and improving through collaborative efforts. FOSS relies on determination, devotion and dedication from its community. The proliferation of information and communication technologies has created opportunities for LIS professionals to actively participate in and contribute to the open source movement.
This document provides an executive summary of discussions from the Deep Dive: AI event hosted by the Open Source Initiative. The event explored what it means for an AI system to be open source through a series of podcast interviews and panel discussions with experts. Three key issues were identified: 1) the need for open datasets to advance AI while limiting restrictions on data use, 2) the importance of regulatory guardrails rather than roadblocks to protect society while allowing innovation, and 3) the need for legal frameworks that enable ethical AI development while allowing collaboration. The OSI plans to continue contributing the open source perspective on AI issues.
Control over information is distributed unjustly, creating an "information oligarchy" where a small group controls information access and use. This negatively impacts human well-being, especially in impoverished regions lacking information wealth and access. A potential solution is promoting free and open source software, which grants users freedom over software use, modification, and distribution. This could help reduce information poverty by providing a wealth of technical knowledge and freeing users from outside corporate interests.
Chapter 4: It's a Free Software World After Allckkhoo
The document discusses the free and open source software (FOSS) movement and how it has impacted education through various technologies. It describes how FOSS offers free services like email and storage and how companies like Google generate revenue. It discusses key organizations in the FOSS movement like the Free Software Foundation and influential figures like Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds. It also summarizes learning management systems like Moodle and Sakai that use open-source software to enable online education.
The document discusses several topics related to democracy and the internet, including how electronic technologies can impact private spaces and democratic rights, how online communities like Second Life and social media can promote activism and discussion, and debates around public versus private spheres in digital spaces. It also examines issues of surveillance, control of online spaces, and the potential for the internet to reinvigorate public discourse.
The document discusses the history and philosophy of open source software and the free software movement. It describes how Richard Stallman founded the GNU project in 1984 to develop free software to protect users' freedom. Stallman developed the GNU General Public License (GPL) to ensure software remains free. Linux kernel developer Linus Torvalds combined GNU software with his kernel to create the GNU/Linux operating system. The open development model allowed the community to quickly improve the software through collaboration over the Internet. Unintended consequences of open source include the creation of wikis, blogs, and citizen websites that promote transparency and civic participation.
The document discusses the history and evolution of open source software from its origins in computer science academia to the present. It describes how Richard Stallman developed the GNU operating system and generalized public license (GPL) to create a legal framework ensuring software remains freely accessible and modifiable. While open source models aim to grant universal access, the document notes they still face challenges around equitable participation, as seen in the small percentage of female Wikipedia editors. Overall, it examines the positive and negative societal impacts of shifting towards more open information systems and knowledge-sharing frameworks.
The document discusses open source software and its benefits and challenges. It notes that while software development is difficult due to problems like incomplete testing and user errors, open source software relies on collaborative communities to tackle these issues. Open source emerged from hacker cultures in the 1960s-70s and businesses now contribute to and use open source projects. The document predicts that open source library systems will become more viable options for libraries in the next two years.
Open source an origin story to freedom covers the origin on open source, the two main currents in the landscape and the options we now have how to go forward.
1. The document discusses regulating creativity and knowledge sharing online while preserving vibrant creative markets and non-market spaces. It examines typical responses like intellectual property rights and notes limitations of rational choice models of creativity.
2. It proposes alternative solutions like focusing on conditions of creativity, targeted non-enforcement zones, knowledge sharing over exclusivity, and modular systems. Safe harbors from liability for intermediaries are important to allow fertile online spaces for sharing and building on knowledge.
3. However, safe harbors are threatened by requirements that intermediaries deter infringement and perfect enforcement mechanisms, formalized in international treaties. Maintaining flexibility is important to accommodate fair use and unpredictable creativity.
This is a vision talk, looking at what is happening on the Web with large scale community interactions. It discusses ongoing efforts, Chinese Human Flesh Search Engine, and a research agenda for "Social Machines" based on these emerging challenges.
eval("freedom_stack.push(culture)"); // The Creative Commons Solution?Mike Linksvayer
The document discusses sharing and collaboration through Creative Commons licenses and other open frameworks. It explores how sharing knowledge and resources through networks and infrastructure can lead to greater innovation and problem solving. Maximizing sharing and welfare gains through policy is important to help sharing frameworks grow and not lose momentum.
Program For The Future: The Commons as a collective intelligence meta-innovationMike Linksvayer
The document discusses Creative Commons (CC), a non-profit organization that provides open copyright licenses to enable sharing and reuse of creative works. It notes CC's goal of enabling a "some rights reserved" model for content as an alternative between ignoring copyright and public good. The document also discusses how building and enabling access to a commons of shared content and resources could help advance collective intelligence and benefit society by reducing restrictions on innovation, participation, and access to information.
Rethinking OSS In An Era of Cloud and MLPeter Wang
This document discusses issues related to open source software (OSS) in the era of cloud computing and machine learning. It addresses topics like sustainability of OSS projects, maintainer burnout, and commercial exploitation of OSS. It argues that many of these issues are really "business model" problems rather than technical problems. The document also discusses how OSS communities value empowering people to innovate through open collaboration and aligning various stakeholders. It emphasizes that open APIs and non-proprietary standards are important to preserve user choice and control as software becomes more distributed through APIs and services.
This document discusses open source software and its relevance to libraries. It provides an overview of open source, including definitions of open source and free software. It addresses common misconceptions about open source. The document outlines benefits of open source like collaboration, transparency, and cost savings. It discusses how open source is widely used in business, government, and education. Finally, it addresses how open source aligns with library values and how libraries can get involved with open source.
Open Source Solutions Swansea April 2009Mark Hughes
The document discusses the rise of open source solutions and their impact. It notes that open source is enabling more collaboration and participation as barriers to contributing come down. Open source library systems are increasingly available and some libraries are migrating to them from closed source solutions. Established library system vendors are both using open source components internally and releasing some open source products in response to competition.
Free software can be considered a commons due to its open and modular language that is freely accessible and created through collaboration. This allows the software to be improved and modified over time, making it a "relational good" that is non-exclusive and accessible to all. As such, it presents the key characteristics of a common resource. Free software also acts as an incubator and sharing tool, facilitating collaboration, commerce, and the development of new software. The self-organizing nature of free software communities allows for emergent, intelligent behaviors to develop through local interactions and adaptation to the environment.
The document discusses the rise of citizen participation and collaboration in governance through emerging technologies. It provides examples of various events and initiatives that bring citizens, developers, and governments together to build applications and share knowledge, such as hackathons, BarCamps, and challenges like Apps for America. It argues that governments should embrace open data, standards, and citizen involvement to benefit from the innovative ideas and skills that networked citizens can provide.
The document discusses tools that activists and civil society groups use to organize and amplify their activities in a distributed, bottom-up manner. It recommends hosting one's own infrastructure like mailing lists and wikis when possible. Key tools mentioned include IRC channels, etherpads for collaborative writing, co-ment for reviewing documents, liquidfeedback for delegated voting, and monitoring sites for tracking legislation. The overall message is that open, decentralized tools allow groups to operate effectively with minimal budgets.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
8. The provisions of licenses like the GPL,
and the community development model that
they encourage, create a
commons for software.
9.
an idea at least as old as Aristotle
popularized by Garrett James Hardin, 1915-2003
assumes that the resources of the commons are limited
The Tragedy of the Commons
10. Open Source & Free Software
do not have such limitations.
12. The dictionary
A “Community” is:
I. A body of people having common rights, privileges,
or interests, or living in the same place under the
same laws and regulations.
II. Of common character, likeness, frequency
13. The Internet enabled the formation of a
new class of communities that could not
previously exist.
People with common interests or values
Potentially broadly geographically distributed
14. The inability to participate in the growing
society of Internet-enabled communities is a
fundamental problem,
often called the “digital divide”
17. The basic idea behind open source is very simple:
•
When programmers can read, redistribute, and modify the
source code for a piece of software, the software evolves.
•
People improve it, people adapt it, people fix bugs.
•
There will always be more smart people outside of any
organization than the organization could employ.
18. And this can happen at a speed which
compared to conventional software development
often seems astonishing.
19.
20. Communities that form around
Open Source Software
freely share their knowledge
with others.
21. If information is free and open,
society as a whole will benefit.
People can contribute
and share.
27. If everybody can look inside, there will be
no surprises, no suspicion, no concern.
Weaknesses can be identified quickly,
which in turn improves
security.
29. As a side effect of people working on
Open Source Software, they have
something much better than a
resume.
They can show real world code as
example of their skills.
37. As we as society grow
more and more reliable on
storing documents in
electronic formats, we
have a responsibility to
keep them accessible for
future generations.
