Building and maintaining a community of users and contributors is key to creating a successful open source development project. This OSS Watch workshop will be particularly suitable for software developers, project managers and principal investigators in UK higher and further education institutions who plan to employ open development practices in planning, managing and further developing their projects beyond the initial funding grant.
The workshop will examine what open source development is and how open source communities are created and sustained. It will highlight management and governance structures common in these projects, and discuss common problems that prevent open communities from emerging and and collaborating successfully.
The workshop is free to UK higher and further education.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided. After the workshop attendees are welcome to come to an informal gathering with OSS Watch at a nearby pub.
