We discuss the history of institutions for provision of public (open source) software, from the 1950s to the emergence of the modern open source software institutions in the mid 1990s. We explain the evolution of such institutions by considering the inefficiencies inherent in provisioning of software as an excludable good. Such inefficiencies arise first of all due to a hold-up problem created by transactions that do not give the buyer the ability to modify the software. We also argue that the nature of the production function of software makes software cheaper to develop when the code is open to end users. We use this framework to examine the institutions that emerged to capture the efficiency gains afforded by public software. We look in particular at how such institutions have created incentives that not only attract contributions from individual volunteers but have also lead to creation of open source products of tremendous commercial importance, which have come to dominate many segments of the software industry. Open source products now form the foundation of core infrastructure of sophisticated technology companies such as Amazon, Google, and Yahoo! and other. ©2009 Microsoft Corporation.

In this discourse, we present the unveiling of an open-source software package designed to facilitate engagement with the atmospheric model, Aeolus 2.0. This particular iteration stands as a self-contained model of intermediate complexity. The model's dynamical core is underpinned by a multi-layer pseudo-spectral moist-convective Thermal Rotating Shallow Water (mcTRSW) model. The pseudo-spectral problem-solving tasks are handled by the Dedalus algorithm, acknowledged for its spin-weighted spherical harmonics. The model captures the temporal and spatial evolution of vertically integrated potential temperature, thickness, water vapour, precipitation, and the intricate influence of bottom topography. It comprehensively characterizes velocity fields in both the lower and upper troposphere, employing resolutions spanning a spectrum from the smooth to the coarse, enabling the exploration of a wide range of dynamic phenomena with varying levels of detail and precision.

A project created in partial fulfillment for Walden Univeristy course 8823 on multimedia technology

Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) has been growing constantly in importance and expanding in many software architectures the world over. Increasingly, open source and commercial software share the same ground and will hybridize each other in complex architectures. This phenomenon can be observed in both civilian and military information systems. In April 2005, a technical workshop was organized under the auspices of the TTCP-JSA (Joint Systems and Analysis) to determine the role of FOSS in military computing. The key findings of this workshop confirm that FOSS is a very useful technology in military architectures and its importance should constantly increase in the future. However, software support models for FOSS and commercial packages are significantly different and have been a puzzlement to many users and their organizations. In this article, the four basic support strategies that are applicable to software maintenance are described, and some guidelines are proposed for ranking them in a given application context. It is also recommended to adopt them in a progressive strategy starting with support offered by vendors and by competent consultants before adhering to a FOSS consortium. As a last resort, tasking full responsibility of the maintenance of the code can be envisaged.

In this session you will learn how NBCUniversal, one of the world's largest media and entertainment companies (http://www.nbcuni.com/corporate/about-us/), used an internal version of the Drupal Open Source development model to build a Drupal publishing product (we call it Publisher) that is extended by developers throughout the company to build web sites for some of the world's most recognized media brands.

The goal of this report is to perform an analysis of software tools that could be employed to perform basic research and development of Anomaly-Based Intrusion Detection Systems. The software tools reviewed include; Environment for Developing KDD-Applications Supported by Index-Structures (ELKI), RapidMiner, SHOGUN (toolbox) Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis (Weka) (machine learning), and Scikit-learn. From the analysis, it is recommended to employ the SHOGUN (toolbox) or Scikit-learn as both tools are written in C++ and offers an interface for Python. The python language software is currently employed as a research tool within our in-house team of researchers.

In 2007-08, we began an investigation of problems, issues, and opportunities that arise during the acquisition of software systems that rely on open architectures and open source software. The current effort funded for 2009-10 (funding received in 2010) seeks to continue and build on the results in this area while refining its focus to center on the essential constraints and tradeoffs we have identified for software-intensive systems with open architecture (OA) and continuously evolving open source software (OSS) elements. The U.S. Air Force, Army, and Navy have all committed to an open technology development strategy that encourages the acquisition of software systems whose requirements include the development or composition of an OA for such systems, and the use of OSS systems, components, or development processes when appropriate. Our goal is to further develop and document foundations for emerging policy and guidance for acquiring software systems that require OA and that incorporate OSS elements. This report documents and describes the findings and results that we have produced as a result of our research into the area of the acquisition of software systems that rely on OA and OSS.

This is one of many short video segments which will be added to the Digital Tipping Point (DTP) archive. Thanks to Thomas King, a writer for Linux.com and LXer, for doing the rough editing for this series of interview segments! In this series of 15 interview segments, software engineer Natasha Humphries tells the remarkable story of losing her job as a software engineer to colleagues in Bangalore, India. Natasha, a Stanford grad who has worked for 10 years as a software engineer, was interviewed by the US national news media and called to testify before Congress about her experiences. Her Digital Tipping Point interview focuses on how things might have been different for her if she had been working on a Free Open Source Software project. She says that if she had been able to control the code on which she was working, her employer, Palm One, would not have been able to dismiss her as easily it did, since she would have been able to fork the code and thus give her greater bargaining power in her relationship with her employer. A less enlightened individual might have lashed out at the person who replaced her, but Natasha looks past that knee-jerk reaction. Natasha shows us the connectedness between herself and the colleagues with whom she worked in India. She provides a very moving personal account of a trip to India in which she encounters deep poverty, and she sees that the Indian colleague who replaced her could not do much to increase their wages or improve their working conditions. As long as those software engineers, both in the US and India, could not control the code they created, they could not control their own financial destinies. This footage is shot dark in segments 01 through 1:01 of segment 04 (Tape 157~001-004). Those segments will need to be re-rendered lighter for final use. The audio is really good. After 1:01 of segment 04, the footage is lighter. This footage is our raw rough-cut footage. It lacks transitions, music, special effectsor finish rendering. It is our "source code". Please feel free to rip, mix and burn this footage consistent with our Creative Commons license as disclosed on this page. In segment 08 (Tape 157~008), Natasha says that her Indian colleagues were very excited about the opportunity to work for Palm One at $4.00 US per hour. Those are middle class wages. They are able to purchase cars, which they didn't have before in many cases. They are willing to cancel weddings and vacations to get the opportunity to work for US companies. And yet India is still very under-developed in many ways. She was chatting with her lead counter-part colleague there and asked what her colleague was going to do one weekend. Her counter-part said she was going to wash her clothes. Natasha asked well, what will you do after that. It had not occurred to Natasha that her colleague was talking about washing her clothes by hand, which takes all day. And companies really push the workers. Out-sourcing companies even switch workers around from company to company, "just moving bodies around." But there are more amenities of like, such as a simple story of a worker eating ice cream after a meal, which was relatively a novel idea. In segment 09 (Tape 157~009), Natasha says that Indians are starting to adopt some Western habits, such as drinking mocha coffee. But the work ethic in India is much different. The Indians she met were very eager to work hard to get ahead. She tells a funny story about her colleagues surprise to find out that she was "not fat" because they expected a typical US employee to be fat. They offered to take her to Pizza Hut. She declined, saying, no, I don't eat Pizza Hut in the US. Everyone has a cell phone. [In 2004, that thought might have been surprising. In 2008, it is not surprising, as the US slips economically relative to India, or at least we are starting to perceive it as such in the US now in mid-November, shortly after the election of Barack Obama]. In segment 10 (Tape 158~001), Natasha says that the younger generation in India is quite positive about globalization, as it gives them more opportunities. But she repeats the example of her counterpart at Palm One in India as saying that she was separated from her family. Even phone calls were too expensive to do on a regular basis, and so she was not in touch with her family as often as she would have liked. Her counter-part's father was also in favor of her getting a decent education and a decent job, despite the costs to the family. Another of her colleagues, an Indian, who lived in the US, had lost her job in the US to globalization. That colleague took action to scale back globalization and was quoted in the press for it and received critical emails from Indians she did not know who were offended that she would try to slow down globalization. Apparently, those Indians said that this colleague was a "disgrace" to Indians because she was slowing down progress. But this colleague said that those Indians should have been insisting on the same standards that US workers were receiving. This Indian colleauge saw the corporations' practice of moving work to underpaid Indians as exploitation; but some of those same Indians saw the "exploitation" as "opportunities" for themselves. Indians are aware of the displacement that happens in the US as a result of moving jobs to India, and they are sensitive to the potential backlash against them as a result. There are many Indians who see off-shoring as inevitable and a natural progression. Natasha continues her thought in the next segment.

The United States Department of Defense has ordered a halt to the use and purchase of unmanned aircraft systems, commonly known as drones, that use commercial-off-the-shelf components because of the potential of exfiltration of sensitive data to foreign nations. Drone sales and usage are growing steadily, but it is difficult to do forensic investigation of drones to determine what they are doing. This research examined storage of three drones using open-source forensic software. Our studies provided insights into how the different drones store their data and where the data is located, and showed that much can be learned without specialized investigative tools.

Audio companion to Module 5 of the Open Science MOOC .

This is part 2 of the German language version of a lecture given by me at the FH Giessen-Friedberg in October 2007. The topic is 'Open Source Software'. This part of the lecture details business models and processes.

This is one of many short video segments which will be added to the Digital Tipping Point (DTP) archive. This series of interview segments features Bob Kerr, a highly paid computer systems administrator for Universal Studios in California, who quit his job to return to his native Scotland to give out Free Open Source Software CDs in schools and nearly all of the Scottish libraries. In the first two tapes in Bob's interviews (tapes 042 and 043), Bob explains that he undertook this work because he was concerned about preserving his native Gaelic language and culture. Proprietary vendors, such as Microsoft, could not be counted on to provide applications that would display Gaelic characters; and documents created in those proprietary formats could be lost forever if a vendor such as Microsoft decided that it did not make business sense to support a small language like Gaelic. By contrast, Free Open Source Software could be used by the Scottish government and civil societies to assure that Gaelic language documents could be accessed in perpetuity, due to the fact that no one vendor could control Free Open Source Software programs. Bob says that language is the bearer of culture. Language tells stories, and stories are the memories of who a people are, and what values are dear to them. Using Free Open Source Software could thus help preserve a minority language and culture like Gaelic that was being eroded by its contact with a more dominant language, like English. By giving Free Open Source Software CDs to libraries, Bob was able to effectively create a CD distribution system that covered 80% of Scotland's 5 million people. He then had plans to expand his giveaway program to all of the UK's libraries, effectively making Free Open Source Software available to 56 million people for a very small investment. Segment 001 of Tape 043 has a very funny story in which Bob tells in his own wry Scottish way how a treasurer of a local Pidgeon racing club realized that he, the treasurer, could use OpenOffice.org to place images of pidgeons on the newsletters that he was creating for his pidgeon racing club. Bob's imitation of that treasurer's classically Scottish reserved excitment is priceless and a must-see segment. A few other interesting stories: Bob tells how his library distribution effort would permit people on the outlying British Isles to receive software that they would not be able to download over the Internet, as there was no Internet service to those Isles. Bob talks about his satisfaction in seeing that he was enabling social groups, such as the Pidgeon racing society, to strengthen their social ties by improving their newsletters; and he talks about his plans to get CDs into the hands of 750 high school students. Bob points out that Microsoft at that time did not have a large presence as an employer in Scotland, yet it sold millions of dollars worth of software to the Scotts, which to Bob represented an negative balance of trade that was not in Scotland's best interest.

Please feel free to rip, mix and burn this footage consistent with our Creative Commons license as disclosed on this page. In segment 05 (Tape 157~005), Natasha says that this experience of being locked out of this proprietary software project for Palm One was not as devastating for her as it might have been for other people, because she has a relatively diversified background. She says that Free Open Source Software (FOSS) is also good for women and minorities because it lowers the barriers to entry into various different jobs, because it is a meritocracy. If you have the skills, you can get the job. Free Open Source Software is transparent, so it lets you get the skills you need to compete for jobs. Managers tend to hire people who are like them, both in terms of personality and race. Free Open Source Software can open doors for people who have skills but might not have earned a Microsoft certification, for example. And FOSS also balances the employee's relationship with the employer, giving a bit more power to the employee than he or she had before, because FOSS allows the employee to have greater control over the code. In segment 06 (Tape 157~006), Natasha says that the employee's power to fork the code gives them the ability to leave a company and take the code with them and develop it elsewhere. She thinks that she would have had more leverage with Palm One if she had been working on Free Open Source Software (FOSS). Palm One owned the code, so she could not take her work with her when she left. The FOSS community decides what code to advance, not just the companies. She was expendable because the code was closed. After she transfered her knowledge to the colleagues she was training, she was no longer needed. If she had been working on a FOSS project, she would have had more leverage with Palm One. This is particulary true when you have software engineers in the US earning $75,000.00 US to $125.000.00 US per year competing with people in India earning $2.00 US to $4.00 US per hour. In segment 07 (Tape 157~007), Natasha says that her counterpart in India was paid $4.00 US per hour. New graduates from technical institutes earn $2.00 per hour. She says that differential is not sustainable for workers in the US. She says that it is incorrect, though, for US workers to blame the people in India. She thinks that they are just on the other side of the power imbalance. The real blame needs to be placed on the corporation that is causing this power imbalance, says Natasha. She thinks that Free Open Source Software could help raise the conditions for the people of India, which could bring them into greater parity with the US. By creating new idustries, using Free Open Source Software, Indian innovators will be able to normalize earnings ratios with the US, restoring balance. Toward the end of this segment, she switches topic and starts talking about the effect of globalization on Indians such as her colleagues. Her thought is continued in the next segment.

This is one of many short video segments which will be added to the Digital Tipping Point (DTP) archive. We at the DTP are not Microsoft-haters. And yet it is important to remember that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Right now, in 2008, Microsoft still has too much power over the desktop software market. And this interview with Sterling Ball reminds us about what can happen when one company has too much power. Sterling Ball is the owner of the Ernie Ball company, a family-owned business that makes and sells high quality guitar strings, pics, and other musically-related stuff. Sterling's company made an innocent mistake in moving hard drives from one computer to another, and they were raided by the local sheriff's department when the Business Software Alliance (BSA) claimed that Ernie Ball was committing software piracy. Sterling became so honked off at Microsoft that he decided to switch to Linux. In these interviews, Sterling talks not so much about the raid, which he doesn't like to discuss and only mentions in passing. Instead, Sterling talks about the benefits to his company in using Free Open Source Software. He was a Microsoft fan, but after the raid, he says, he focused on IT in a way that he never previously did, and found that he had options. In the last of the videos, he laughs at the fact that he was invited to speak at Linux World in San Francisco in front of a banner saying, "Living in a Microsoft-free world." Ultimately, he wants people to understand that his decision was motivated mostly by business factors, not spite against Microsoft. In this particular segment, Sterling says [summary needed] If you like this segment, please consider typing up a summary for it and emailing that summary to Christian Einfeldt at [email protected].

This is one of many short video segments which will be added to the Digital Tipping Point (DTP) archive. This series of interview segments features Bob Kerr, a highly paid computer systems administrator for Universal Studios in California, who quit his job to return to his native Scotland to give out Free Open Source Software CDs in schools and nearly all of the Scottish libraries. In the first two tapes in Bob's interviews (tapes 042 and 043), Bob explains that he undertook this work because he was concerned about preserving his native Gaelic language and culture. Proprietary vendors, such as Microsoft, could not be counted on to provide applications that would display Gaelic characters; and documents created in those proprietary formats could be lost forever if a vendor such as Microsoft decided that it did not make business sense to support a small language like Gaelic. By contrast, Free Open Source Software could be used by the Scottish government and civil societies to assure that Gaelic language documents could be accessed in perpetuity, due to the fact that no one vendor could control Free Open Source Software programs. Bob says that language is the bearer of culture. Language tells stories, and stories are the memories of who a people are, and what values are dear to them. Using Free Open Source Software could thus help preserve a minority language and culture like Gaelic that was being eroded by its contact with a more dominant language, like English. By giving Free Open Source Software CDs to libraries, Bob was able to effectively create a CD distribution system that covered 80% of Scotland's 5 million people. He then had plans to expand his giveaway program to all of the UK's libraries, effectively making Free Open Source Software available to 56 million people for a very small investment. Segment 001 of Tape 043 has a very funny story in which Bob tells in his own wry Scottish way how a treasurer of a local Pidgeon racing club realized that he, the treasurer, could use OpenOffice.org to place images of pidgeons on the newsletters that he was creating for his pidgeon racing club. Bob's imitation of that treasurer's classically Scottish reserved excitment is priceless and a must-see segment. A few other interesting stories: Bob tells how his library distribution effort would permit people on the outlying British Isles to receive software that they would not be able to download over the Internet, as there was no Internet service to those Isles. Bob talks about his satisfaction in seeing that he was enabling social groups, such as the Pidgeon racing society, to strengthen their social ties by improving their newsletters; and he talks about his plans to get CDs into the hands of 750 high school students. Bob points out that Microsoft at that time did not have a large presence as an employer in Scotland, yet it sold millions of dollars worth of software to the Scotts, which to Bob represented an negative balance of trade that was not in Scotland's best interest.

In the dark days of October 2014 an unprecedented Ebola epidemic wrecked havoc across Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea. In Sierra Leone, the health system was only weeks away from total collapse due to an inability to manage or pay health workers across the country and the world braced for the unchecked spread of the disease throughout west Africa. In the face of apocalyptic scenario, a company made up of local hackers took on the unprecedented challenge of building, implementing and running a huge Management Information System and Mobile payments system to keep the health system from collapsing. This talk will show how this was achieved with Open Source Software, second hand laptops, hacked voter registration machines, second hand smartphones and some very smart and determined young people used to achieving great things with none of the resources we take for granted. We salute them. Salton Arthur Massally, Harold Valentine Mac-Saidu, Francis Banguara, Emerson Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPxCUzGGDKc Uploader: media.ccc.de

Justin Dorfman joined us for a special BONUS episode of The Changelog to share some details about Sustain Conference with you. It's a one day conversation for Open Source Software sustainers at GitHub HQ (SF) on June 19, 2017. No keynotes, expo halls or talks. Only discussions about how to get more resources to support digital infrastructure. Plus, we'll be there.

A Flash presentation on open source software created to meet a class requirement for Walden University.

Lauren McCarthy joined Nadia and Mikeal to discuss her work on p5.js, contributions and culture, her before and after take on open source, her path to becoming a maintainer, how p5.js gets new contributors, how they keep them around, and why design isn't better represented in open source.

This is one of many short video segments which will be added to the Digital Tipping Point (DTP) archive. Thanks to Thomas King, a writer for Linux.com and LXer, for doing the rough editing for this series of interview segments! This series of 11 interview segments features John William Templeton, a widely published historian, journalist, and business commentator. John is president and executive editor of eAccess Corp. in San Francisco. As editor of the San Jose Business Journal, he helped pioneer coverage of technology industries in the 1980s. His popular book, "Success Secrets of Black Executives," highlighted the pivotal role of African-American technology executives. Since 1999, he has presented the 50 Most Important African-Americans in Technology list and published the annual Silicon Ceiling report on equal opportunity in technology. He is an honors graduate in journalism from Howard University, and completed the Minority Science Writers Seminar and the Stanford Professional Publishing Course. John is also a leading historian of African Americans in business, and his Digital Tipping Point interivew connects current efforts by African Americans in Free Open Source Software to the deep history of African Americans in the broader technology field. One of the primary themes that emerge from John's interview is the appeal that Free Open Source Software (FOSS) holds for African American entrepreneurs. He says that FOSS holds the appeal of lowering the barrier for entry of African American innovators creating small to medium businesses, which is where most new jobs are created. He thinks that FOSS appeals to African nations intent on preserving culture and language that would be lost to the predominantly European languages in which proprietary software such as Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office. FOSS allows African nations to localize Free Software into the 5,000 small-population languages spoken in Africa, thus preserving the thoughts and cultures of the speakers of those languages. John's experience as an expert witness in the anti-trust trial against Microsoft reminds us of the perils of entrusting culture to a monopoly whose interests are not always parallel to the interests of the users of software. This footage is our raw rough-cut footage. It lacks transitions, music, special effects or finish rendering. It is our "source code". Please feel free to rip, mix and burn this footage consistent with our Creative Commons license as disclosed on this page. In segment 06 (Tape 159~003), John says the US Office of Management and Budget helped hasten the migration to Linux by adopting a policy requiring the use of vendor-neutral technologies in governmnet. That policy was the result of advocacy by companies like Apple and IBM, who are trying to compete with Microsoft by getting a chance to have their technologies adopted by government. William Murrell, mentioned in segment 01, is an example of a small business person who has been able to get work in the public sector providing networking services because of his Linux skills. Switching topics, John begins a discussion of the US government's decision to stop using Microsoft Internet Explorer (MIE) in some cases due to the threat of viruses posed by MIE. John continues his thought on this topic in the next segment.

In segment 07 (Tape 159~004), John says that since the US government is such a huge purchaser of software licenses, it is important for them to avoid vendor lock-in. A decision made today can tie the hands of the government for decades if proprietary solutions are required. He talks about ways that Free Open Source Software helps beat the digital divide. Mostly, it has to do with lowering the barriers to entry for African American businesses and lowering the cost of digital technology. At the end of this segment, he says there is a long tradition of innovation among African American companies and pushing the envelope, and Free Open Source Software can asist with that.

Mike O'Connor https://2019.linux.conf.au/schedule/presentation/169/ Clockwork is a programming tool designed to make programming things easier. It provides a simple way to describe the parts of a complicated system and it comes with tools to help get the model right and present information and controls in a user-friendly way. Clockwork programs are interconnected parts, called 'machines' that monitor each other and make sure the whole system performs as required. In our presentation, we will show examples of programming `things` and talk about what to do when the programming gets tough. We start with some simple programs that read data from a sensor and use that data to control a small device while also providing an IoT interface to monitor the process. We show these programs using common C/Python tools and also demonstrate how to do the same things with our Clockwork language and tools. For some years we have been building a set of open source tools for industrial control, based around a language we call Clockwork. It is now possible to compile Clockwork code so it can run on a broad range of devices, from tiny 8-bit Atmel-based Arduinos, small Espressif ESP32 devices, to Linux hardware such as the Beaglebone black. This means that it is now much easier to go a lot further when programming things, without needing to worry too much about writing time-consuming and often quite involved thread stuff. The secret to keeping things simple is to make the components independent so they can run along happily without concern for other parts of the system. In Clockwork, this is done by describing models of the system we want to control or monitor in terms of its states (e.g. hot, cold, on, off, rising, falling, and so on). We think that the model-building approach makes it easier for programmers to achieve more, especially where the system being controlled involves many interacting parts that need to be controlled in parallel and in real time. Accomplished programmers will enjoy programming with the Clockwork tools especially for complex systems and new programmers will enjoy being able to get further with less debugger time. We think that its main benefit is simplifying the process of building complete systems, enabling construction by describing what a system should do rather than how it must do it. There are many exciting features about the clockwork language, including: internal or external monitoring of state changes, comprehensive debugging that tracks the state components are in and how they got there, and the ability to display everything on a webpage -and don't we all simply love that! linux.conf.au is a conference about the Linux operating system, and all aspects of the thriving ecosystem of Free and Open Source Software that has grown up around it. Run since 1999, in a different Australian or New Zealand city each year, by a team of local volunteers, LCA invites more than 500 people to learn from the people who shape the future of Open Source.
