SIGOPEN Developmental Workshop at OSS2016

The Future of Open Source: SIGOPEN Developmental Workshop at OSS2016 May 30, 2016 Gothenburg, Sweden

http://sigopen.org/events/2016-events/2016-oss-workshop/

The open source landscape has changed dramatically since the scholarly community first began investigating open source in earnest in the early 2000’s. Disruptive technological trends such as cloud computing, Software-as-a-Service, Service Oriented Architectures, and public API’s as a development platform, change how we understand software development, distribution, execution, modification and evolution. Likewise, the organizational context of open source has shifted from its traditional “grassroots” origins to include large formal organizations/foundations, commercial sponsors and participants, and public and NGO patrons and advocates. As such, open source has spawned a wide variety of related phenomena including the application of open source principles within and between organizations, the adoption of open source ethos in the design and development of hardware and devices, 3-D printable models, virtual objects, and other complex knowledge goods.

Building on the success of the SIGOPEN developmental workshops recently held at ECIS 2015 and ICIS 2015, the AIS Special Interest Group on Open Research and Practice (SIGOPEN) will host a workshop at OSS 2016 to facilitate the rigorous exploration of this changing open source landscape.

The workshop will provide a unique and collegial environment for scholars to present their work-in-progress, mature their ideas, meet other researchers exploring related areas, and learn about emerging research in a relaxed and supportive setting. The goal of the workshop is to help authors move their work forward towards publication in major international journals.

The workshop welcomes research across a wide range of open source related issues, including development processes, platforms, and tools; individual behaviors and motivations; social, cultural, and organizational factors; economic and business models; legal structures and governance; leadership and coordination. However, reflecting the themes noted above, the CFP will particularly highlight the desirability of research that extends our understanding of:

– the impact of emerging computing paradigms and models on open source software development processes, platforms, licensing, and governance.

– the impact of corporate, non-profit, and public body participation in open source projects and communities on open source software development processes, platforms, licensing, and governance.

– the impact of open source on the peer-production of other knowledge goods (open hardware, the maker movement, open design and 3D printing, etc) and on the strategies and operations of organizations (open business models).

Authors will be expected to submit working papers (max 7 pages + cover page and references) using the OSS 2016 submission template. These working papers will be then be archived (open access) to the SIGOPEN website ( http://sigopen.org).

This one-day workshop will comprise full-group paper presentations with Q&A in the morning, and small-group developmental roundtables in the afternoon. Roundtables will be mentored and participants will be expected to have read the other papers in their roundtable in order to contribute meaningfully to the development of all papers in the group. The emphasis will be on focused, pragmatic engagement to support researchers in solving the problems they are presently facing with the work (e.g. theory development, data analysis, and the communication of results) There will also be opportunities for broader discussion amongst the full group of workshop participants.
