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.

This is a video titled 'Miles Berry talks about Open Source Software for Schools @ BETT 2009'.

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.

Linux Audio Conference 2010 Using open source music software to teach live electronics in pre-college music education Hans Roels A basic course of live electronics is needed in pre-college music education to enable children to learn how to perform on a digital musical instrument. This paper describes the basic components of such a live electronic course, examines whether open source music software is suited to realize these components and finally presents Abunch, a library in Pure Data created by the author, as a solution for the potential educational disadvantages of open source music software.

We present release 2.0 of the ALPS (Algorithms and Libraries for Physics Simulations) project, an open source software project to develop libraries and application programs for the simulation of strongly correlated quantum lattice models such as quantum magnets, lattice bosons, and strongly correlated fermion systems. The code development is centered on common XML and HDF5 data formats, libraries to simplify and speed up code development, common evaluation and plotting tools, and simulation programs. The programs enable non-experts to start carrying out serial or parallel numerical simulations by providing basic implementations of the important algorithms for quantum lattice models: classical and quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) using non-local updates, extended ensemble simulations, exact and full diagonalization (ED), the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) both in a static version and a dynamic time-evolving block decimation (TEBD) code, and quantum Monte Carlo solvers for dynamical mean field theory (DMFT). The ALPS libraries provide a powerful framework for programers to develop their own applications, which, for instance, greatly simplify the steps of porting a serial code onto a parallel, distributed memory machine. Major changes in release 2.0 include the use of HDF5 for binary data, evaluation tools in Python, support for the Windows operating system, the use of CMake as build system and binary installation packages for Mac OS X and Windows, and integration with the VisTrails workflow provenance tool. The software is available from our web server at http://alps.comp-phys.org/.

Open Source Software (OSS) often relies on large repositories, like SourceForge, for initial incubation. The OSS repositories offer a large variety of meta-data providing interesting information about projects and their success. In this paper we propose a data mining approach for training classifiers on the OSS meta-data provided by such data repositories. The classifiers learn to predict the successful continuation of an OSS project. The `successfulness' of projects is defined in terms of the classifier confidence with which it predicts that they could be ported in popular OSS projects (such as FreeBSD, Gentoo Portage).

The HANDE quantum Monte Carlo project offers accessible stochastic algorithms for general use for scientists in the field of quantum chemistry. HANDE is an ambitious and general high-performance code developed by a geographically-dispersed team with a variety of backgrounds in computational science. In the course of preparing a public, open-source release, we have taken this opportunity to step back and look at what we have done and what we hope to do in the future. We pay particular attention to development processes, the approach taken to train students joining the project, and how a flat hierarchical structure aids communication

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.

Please feel free to rip, mix and burn this footage consistent with our Creative Commons license as disclosed on this page. In segment 04 (Tape 159~001), John talks about the impacts of Microsoft Windows on culture and language. For example, he says that there are 5,000 languages in Africa, but the use of Microsoft Windows forces users to conduct their computing in a major language like English, which degrades the use of their native languages. Free Open Source Software is being used to deploy software in the end users' native language. He says that Free Open Source Software works for these minority languages in Africa because it is not constrained by a business model which requires sales on a massive scale to justify the costs of production and deployment. So, for example, Free Open Source Software can be deployed in use cases as small as 1,000 users, thus preserving the language and culture of those small minority groups. Switching topics, John talks about his participation as an expert witness on education in the Microsoft anti-trust case. His testimony was aimed at showing that Microsoft's proposal to deploy Microsoft Windows would have taken the targeted classrooms backward by essentially dumping general-purpose technology in a setting calling for narrowly-tailored educational needs. Once those computers were in place, it would have been more difficult to obtain the funding for _proper_ technology for those settings because the generalized computers would essentially be thought to have fulfilled a purpose which, in reality, they were _not_ fulfilling, thereby displacing funding for appropriate technology.

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 03 (Tape 158~009), John says that Roy Clay was responsible for funding some basic business computer initiatives through the prominent Venture Capital firm of Kleiner Perkins Caufield, including Intel, Tandem and Compaq. Frank Greene, Ph.D., was one of the designers of semiconductors for Fairchild. Large numbers of African Americans were involved in data processing early on, before the field became "cool" and lucrative. Since that time, African Americans have been among the first to lose jobs as a result of off-shoring [as described by Stanford grad Natasha Humphries in her Digital Tipping Point interview]. Echoing a theme of Natasha's interview, John says that Free Open Source Software offers these African Americans who have been in the tech industry for decades an opportunity to start their own tech businesses. And he says that Linux allows the development of educational tools narrowly tailored to the African American community. Linux allows African American innovators to start up their businesses because Linux lowers the barriers to entry in this field through reduced costs.

ECGSYN, a dynamical model that faithfully reproduces the main features of the human electrocardiogram (ECG), including heart rate variability, RR intervals and QT intervals is presented. Details of the underlying algorithm and an open-source software implementation in Matlab, C and Java are described. An example of how this model will facilitate comparisons of signal processing techniques is provided.

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 interview segments features anthropologist Gabriella Coleman. You might think that anthropologist are only useful for studying bones of old, forgotten cultures, but you would be wrong. As this series of 10 interview segments shows, we can learn a lot about modern cultures and subcultures from anthropologists. Gabriella is not a computer scientist, but she does a great job of gaining enough computer science knowledge to understand what members of the Free Open Source Software movement are saying to each other. Her interviews are fascinating, because she spends much of her time thinking and talking about how people in the Free Open Source Software movement have created norms and established trust. These are really important issues, for several reasons. First, Free Open Source Software establishes the basic infrastructure for hundreds of billions of dollars in commerce every year. The Internet basically runs on Free Open Source Software, as does Google, Facebook, and most other such businesses. The US National Security Agency relies on GNU-Linux to run its computers, as does the US military. Huge civil bodies such as the City of Munich and the Region of Extremadura, Spain, rely on it. Second, Free Open Source Software is very international, as Gabriella points out, so what we learn from Free Open Source Software about collaboration can help humanity manage our complex international relations more smoothly in other areas as well. In segment 01 (Tape 105~005), Gabriella explains how she became interested in Free Open Source Software while studying at the University of Chicago. She didn't initially set out to study the Free Open Source Software community. Her interest in the topic started as a hobby. She says she becamse "caught up in the wave" that Free Open Source Software represents, and then decided to base her dissertation on the ethical and political dimensions of the Free Open Source Software movement. In segment 02 (Tape 105~006), Gabriella says she has studied the Free Open Source Software movement by hanging out on Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channels; by going to Linux User Group (LUG) meetings; and by going to conferences such as the FISL 5 conference where this footage was shot. She is fascinated by the fact that the developers who write Free Open Source Software are remarkably savvy about the laws that govern their work, and says that the Free Open Source Software movement can be looked at as a huge association of legal experts on intellectual property, at least as it pertains to their work. Many other professions are not able to determine the standards of their communities with as great precision and broad scope as the Free Open Source Software movement. Unfortunately, these first two segments of Gabriella Coleman's interview were shot under noisy conditions at a crowded conference without great lighting, so we covered some of the topics in these first two interviews a second time in segments 03 and 04.

Second, Free Open Source Software is very international, as Gabriella points out, so what we learn from Free Open Source Software about collaboration can help humanity manage our complex international relations more smoothly in other areas as well. In segment 07 (Tape 106~007), Gabriella continues on talking about how the Mozilla Firefox browser is an example the power of a Free Open Source Software project can survive the death of a commercial business that was supporting it. Many of her colleagues at the University of Chicago use Firefox, and so she uses Firefox as an example when explaining to her colleagues what Free Open Source Software is. She found Free Open Source Software "choppy" at first, but now she is astounded at how fast it is growing user-friendly software. She is excited to see what it will be like in 5 years. The growth of user-friendliness is due to the proliferation of the the Internet and PCs. As the Internet as penetrated further into our lives, Free Open Source Software has followed along, and is becoming more important t average users, so more software is written for them. Another reason that many developers are motivated to continue programing with Free Open Source Software is that they started when they were young, sometimes as young as three years old, so the values of Free Open Source Software are deeply engrained in them. In segment 08 (Tape 106~008), Gabriella addresses the issue of the gender gap in Free Open Source Software, in which more men than women are active in developing the software. She believes this phenomenon is attributable to the fact the girls start writing code later in life, perhaps not until they are women, as opposed to boys, who start writing code when they are younger. But she cites Pia Waugh, the President of Linux Australia (with whom the DTP crew had hung out but had not had an opportunity to interview, sadly!) as an example of the growing role of women in Free Open Source Software. Members of the community are also starting to discuss the root causes of this gender gap, which she finds promising. She says that Free Open Source Software is still a subculture, but as it grows, more women will join Free Open Source Software coding efforts. As an example of the subcultural world of Free Open Source Software, she discusses key signing events. She says that these events would seem odd to outsiders, but they are important events to the community, because these events allow people to vouch for the identities of one another, which allows them to manage really really large projects, such as the Debian project.

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 interview segments features anthropologist Gabriella Coleman. You might think that anthropologist are only useful for studying bones of old, forgotten cultures, but you would be wrong. As this series of 10 interview segments shows, we can learn a lot about modern cultures and subcultures from anthropologists. Gabriella is not a computer scientist, but she does a great job of gaining enough computer science knowledge to understand what members of the Free Open Source Software movement are saying to each other. Her interviews are fascinating, because she spends much of her time thinking and talking about how people in the Free Open Source Software movement have created norms and established trust. These are really important issues, for several reasons. First, Free Open Source Software establishes the basic infrastructure for hundreds of billions of dollars in commerce every year. The Internet basically runs on Free Open Source Software, as does Google, Facebook, and most other such businesses. The US National Security Agency relies on GNU-Linux to run its computers, as does the US military. Huge civil bodies such as the City of Munich and the Region of Extremadura, Spain, rely on it. Second, Free Open Source Software is very international, as Gabriella points out, so what we learn from Free Open Source Software about collaboration can help humanity manage our complex international relations more smoothly in other areas as well. In segment 07 (Tape 106~007), Gabriella continues on talking about how the Mozilla Firefox browser is an example the power of a Free Open Source Software project can survive the death of a commercial business that was supporting it. Many of her colleagues at the University of Chicago use Firefox, and so she uses Firefox as an example when explaining to her colleagues what Free Open Source Software is. She found Free Open Source Software "choppy" at first, but now she is astounded at how fast it is growing user-friendly software. She is excited to see what it will be like in 5 years. The growth of user-friendliness is due to the proliferation of the the Internet and PCs. As the Internet as penetrated further into our lives, Free Open Source Software has followed along, and is becoming more important t average users, so more software is written for them. Another reason that many developers are motivated to continue programing with Free Open Source Software is that they started when they were young, sometimes as young as three years old, so the values of Free Open Source Software are deeply engrained in them. In segment 08 (Tape 106~008), Gabriella addresses the issue of the gender gap in Free Open Source Software, in which more men than women are active in developing the software. She believes this phenomenon is attributable to the fact the girls start writing code later in life, perhaps not until they are women, as opposed to boys, who start writing code when they are younger. But she cites Pia Waugh, the President of Linux Australia (with whom the DTP crew had hung out but had not had an opportunity to interview, sadly!) as an example of the growing role of women in Free Open Source Software. Members of the community are also starting to discuss the root causes of this gender gap, which she finds promising. She says that Free Open Source Software is still a subculture, but as it grows, more women will join Free Open Source Software coding efforts. As an example of the subcultural world of Free Open Source Software, she discusses key signing events. She says that these events would seem odd to outsiders, but they are important events to the community, because these events allow people to vouch for the identities of one another, which allows them to manage really really large projects, such as the Debian project. She says that person-to-person events like the FISL conference where this footage was shot is an example of such personal interactions, where tacit knowledge and unspoken understandings are instituted and cultivated.

Premier Texas LinuxFest 2010. This talk is about 5 acronyms, and tells 5 stories about the intersection of Open Source Software and Education that are important to Red Hat. 1. The Humanitarian FOSS Project (HFOSS) 2. Undergraduate Capstone Open Source Projects (UCOSP) 3. Teaching Open Source (TOS) 4. Professors' Open Source Summer Experience (POSSE) 5. Sugar on a Stick (SoaS)

This is a feature cast, an episode of The Command Line Podcast. I will save listener feedback for the next show. There is no hacker word of the week this week due to the length of the feature. The feature this week is the second of two panel recordings I captured at Balticon 44 . The panel was titled, "Free Yourself: Open Source Software for Everyday Use". My co-panelists were Brad Smith and none other than Eric Raymond. I found ESR to be especially fascinating on this panel, with some thought provoking ideas and fun stories.

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.

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 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.

Open source software and programming libraries have dramatically changed the way software is developed. Leveraging open source as a part of the software development process drives down both development time and cost while increasing software quality. The defining question for most companies is no longer, 'Should we use open source?', but rather, 'How can we accelerate our adoption of open source while doing so safely?' This session presents an overall view of the entire software development value chain from programmer to customer -- including in-house developers, off-shore developers, open source contributors and others along the way -- and identifies best practices for each stop that will allow companies to accelerate their ability to utilize open source while making sure they are managing the process effectively. This session will explore best practices in the areas of: Aligning open source usage with corporate culture and business goals Processes and policies around the software development process Acquiring code developed by outsourced or off-shore partners Understanding license obligations in the finished product or project How to plan and manage the overall process effectively

SoftCioTec - Free/Libre and Open-Source Software (FLOSS) Evolution: Analysis and Visualization of Socio-Technical Aspects dumped with WikiTeam tools.

Last summer, driven by a compelling desire to address the public health issue of accidental addiction, I embarked on a personal project: DrugScan, a website designed to identify addictive drugs. As a middle school student with no prior experience in software development, I used open-source frameworks and free tools, such as an AI assistant, to help me build DrugScan. Within a year, I launched it. In this presentation, I will share my experiences and learning journey, highlighting how open-source technologies and AI assistants can serve as crucial resources for teenagers eager to make a difference. My goal is to inspire and empower other young individuals to make a social impact, regardless of technical barriers.

This research analyzes complex networks in open-source software at the inter-package level, where package dependencies often span across projects and between development groups. We review complex networks identified at ``lower'' levels of abstraction, and then formulate a description of interacting software components at the package level, a relatively ``high'' level of abstraction. By mining open-source software repositories from two sources, we empirically show that the coupling of modules at this granularity creates a small-world and scale-free network in both instances.

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.

In this episode we talk with Varun Badhwar, Founder and CEO of Endor Labs. Show host: Sean Falconer

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.

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.

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 interview segments features anthropologist Gabriella Coleman. You might think that anthropologist are only useful for studying bones of old, forgotten cultures, but you would be wrong. As this series of 10 interview segments shows, we can learn a lot about modern cultures and subcultures from anthropologists. Gabriella is not a computer scientist, but she does a great job of gaining enough computer science knowledge to understand what members of the Free Open Source Software movement are saying to each other. Her interviews are fascinating, because she spends much of her time thinking and talking about how people in the Free Open Source Software movement have created norms and established trust. These are really important issues, for several reasons. First, Free Open Source Software establishes the basic infrastructure for hundreds of billions of dollars in commerce every year. The Internet basically runs on Free Open Source Software, as does Google, Facebook, and most other such businesses. The US National Security Agency relies on GNU-Linux to run its computers, as does the US military. Huge civil bodies such as the City of Munich and the Region of Extremadura, Spain, rely on it. Second, Free Open Source Software is very international, as Gabriella points out, so what we learn from Free Open Source Software about collaboration can help humanity manage our complex international relations more smoothly in other areas as well. In segment 07 (Tape 106~007), Gabriella continues on talking about how the Mozilla Firefox browser is an example the power of a Free Open Source Software project can survive the death of a commercial business that was supporting it. Many of her colleagues at the University of Chicago use Firefox, and so she uses Firefox as an example when explaining to her colleagues what Free Open Source Software is. She found Free Open Source Software "choppy" at first, but now she is astounded at how fast it is growing user-friendly software. She is excited to see what it will be like in 5 years. The growth of user-friendliness is due to the proliferation of the the Internet and PCs. As the Internet as penetrated further into our lives, Free Open Source Software has followed along, and is becoming more important t average users, so more software is written for them. Another reason that many developers are motivated to continue programing with Free Open Source Software is that they started when they were young, sometimes as young as three years old, so the values of Free Open Source Software are deeply engrained in them. In segment 08 (Tape 106~008), Gabriella addresses the issue of the gender gap in Free Open Source Software, in which more men than women are active in developing the software. She believes this phenomenon is attributable to the fact the girls start writing code later in life, perhaps not until they are women, as opposed to boys, who start writing code when they are younger. But she cites Pia Waugh, the President of Linux Australia (with whom the DTP crew had hung out but had not had an opportunity to interview, sadly!) as an example of the growing role of women in Free Open Source Software. Members of the community are also starting to discuss the root causes of this gender gap, which she finds promising. She says that Free Open Source Software is still a subculture, but as it grows, more women will join Free Open Source Software coding efforts. As an example of the subcultural world of Free Open Source Software, she discusses key signing events. She says that these events would seem odd to outsiders, but they are important events to the community, because these events allow people to vouch for the identities of one another, which allows them to manage really really large projects, such as the Debian project. She says that person-to-person events like the FISL conference where this footage was shot is an example of such personal interactions, where tacit knowledge and unspoken understandings are instituted and cultivated.

Counting circular objects such as cell colonies is an important source of information for biologists. Although this task is often time-consuming and subjective, it is still predominantly performed manually. The aim of the present work is to provide a new tool to enumerate circular objects from digital pictures and video streams. Here, I demonstrate that the created program, OpenCFU, is very robust, accurate and fast. In addition, it provides control over the processing parameters and is implemented in an in- tuitive and modern interface. OpenCFU is a cross-platform and open-source software freely available at http://opencfu.sourceforge.net.

Efficient bug triaging procedures are an important precondition for successful collaborative software engineering projects. Triaging bugs can become a laborious task particularly in open source software (OSS) projects with a large base of comparably inexperienced part-time contributors. In this paper, we propose an efficient and practical method to identify valid bug reports which a) refer to an actual software bug, b) are not duplicates and c) contain enough information to be processed right away. Our classification is based on nine measures to quantify the social embeddedness of bug reporters in the collaboration network. We demonstrate its applicability in a case study, using a comprehensive data set of more than 700,000 bug reports obtained from the Bugzilla installation of four major OSS communities, for a period of more than ten years. For those projects that exhibit the lowest fraction of valid bug reports, we find that the bug reporters' position in the collaboration network is a strong indicator for the quality of bug reports. Based on this finding, we develop an automated classification scheme that can easily be integrated into bug tracking platforms and analyze its performance in the considered OSS communities. A support vector machine (SVM) to identify valid bug reports based on the nine measures yields a precision of up to 90.3% with an associated recall of 38.9%. With this, we significantly improve the results obtained in previous case studies for an automated early identification of bugs that are eventually fixed. Furthermore, our study highlights the potential of using quantitative measures of social organization in collaborative software engineering. It also opens a broad perspective for the integration of social awareness in the design of support infrastructures.
