I’ve collected slides from the speakers of the Open Educational Symposium at OSS2005… Update : They have been added to the page on the conference’s site, but are still available at : http://www-inf.int-evry.fr/~olberger/OpenEducationalSymposium/OpenEducationalSymposium.html. A report from this symposium will come later.

Slides of our paper at OSS2005
I’m back from OSS2005 in Genova (more detailed report to come), where I’ve presented our paper “Why and how-to contribute to libre software when you integrate them into an in-house application ?”. Here are the slides I’ve presented in the 15 minutes slot (too short ;). For a longer version, you may have a look at the presentation made at FISL 6. Or of course, you can also read our paper 😉
Why and how-to contribute to libre software when you integrate them into an in-house application ?
In the paper titled “Why and how-to contribute to libre software when you integrate them into an in-house application ?” (which is now available online), to be published in the forecoming proceedings of the OSS2005 conference (Genova, Italy, 11-15 july 2005), we draw from our experience on the projects PicoLibre and ProGET, to explain how in-house applications can be built around existing high level libre software programs. We also describe the issue of long-term maintenance of such in-house platforms, and we propose a strategy for contributions to external libre projects, in order to help solve the maintenance issue.
Feel free to comment on this paper in this post.
Update : the full proceedings of the conference have been put on-line. Check the details from http://oss2005.case.unibz.it/
Soumission aux JRES 2005 retenue
Nous avons soumis un papier aux JRES 2005 (qui se dérouleront en décembre 2005 à Marseille), qui a été retenu. Titre : “Intégration d’applications logicielles libres pour la réalisation d’une plate-forme de travail collaboratif destinée aux enseignants/chercheurs du GET”
Update 14/12/2005 : le papier est paru (en ligne dans les actes sur le site des JRES) : l’article (PDF), et les transparents ( HTML et PDF).
Presentation at OSS2005 on 13 July 2005
I will go to OSS2005 in Genova (Italy), between 11th and 15th of July, to participate to OSS2005, and present our paper “Why and how-to contribute to libre software when you integrate them into an in-house application ?“, which describes our past efforts on the development of the in-house ProGET platform.
Abstract :
Free or open source software are common tools that everybody can use and customise at its convenience to create in-house applications. Using and customising free software is not sufficient to ensure that this in-house application will be maintainable at mid or long term. This paper draws lessons from our in-house project, the development of a groupware Web platform for researchers, to help defining a policy through which efficient contributions can be made to open source software so that the in-house projects may remain viable.
The program of the conference is available on-line, and looks promising.
UPDATE : The list of accepted papers (and abstracts) is available on-line.
