Involving older adults in the design and development of free/open source software

Creator:: Davidson, Jennifer L.
Abstract:: An age-wave is upon us where many older adults are reaching retirement. Technically experienced older adults have skills that could be directly applied to free/open source software (FOSS) communities, such as project management, programming, and/or knowledge of a rapidly growing end-user population. FOSS is a widely popular, low-cost way to...

Managing bug reports in free/open source software (FOSS) communities

Creator:: Mohan, Nitin
Abstract:: Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) communities often use open bug reporting to allow users to participate by reporting bugs. This practice can lead to more duplicate reports, as inexperienced users can be less rigorous about researching existing bug reports. The purpose of this research is to determine the extent of this...

Joining open source software communities: an analysis of newbies’ first interactions on project mailing lists

Creator:: King, Scott T.
Abstract:: Open source software has become a powerful force in the world of computing. While once confined to the domain of technical specialists, people of all types have begun to adopt this software – from the casual web-surfer who uses Firefox, to the professional web developer who codes in PHP or...

Longitudinal Analysis of Collaboration in Forked Open Source Software Development Projects

Creator:: Azarbakht, Amirhosein "Emerson"
Abstract:: Social interactions are a ubiquitous part of our lives, and the creation of online social communities has been a natural extension of this phenomena. Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) development efforts are prime examples of how communities can be leveraged in software development, where groups are formed around communities...

Corporate involvement in FOSS projects : an in-depth look at corporate contributions and implications for project governance

Creator:: Forrest, Darren J.
Abstract:: Free / Open Source Software developers come from a myriad of different backgrounds. While some contribute for personal reasons, many become involved because they receive compensation from corporations or foundations. The motivation for participating in a project can have dramatic impacts on how and what contribution an individual makes. These...

Visualizing Contribution Patterns in Open Source

Creator:: Naik, Rithika Kiran
Abstract:: Open Source software gives users the freedom to copy, modify and redistribute source code without legal entanglements. The evolution of these software communities usually depend a lot on how the participating developers and users interact and co-operate with each other. Over the past few years, open source software have become...

The Emergent Qualities of Diversity in Free and Open Source Software Communities: A Critical Review and Theoretical Discussion

Creator:: Kuechler, J. Victor
Abstract:: Free and open source software (FOSS) projects primarily rely on the efforts of volunteer contributors from around the world. For this reason, recruiting and retaining contributor is vital to the sustainability and growth of FOSS projects. This notion became the jumping-off point for this three-part investigation into the cultural structure...

Assessing mental workload and situation awareness in the evaluation of real-time, critical user interfaces

Creator:: Strawn, Jordan J.
Abstract:: While there are many ways to evaluate a user interface design, the user's mental workload and situation awareness (SA) are particularly important considerations in the supervisory control of safety-critical systems. Typically, operators of these systems must monitor high-volume, time-sensitive status information. Interface design for this domain can be challenging and...

Response of Soil Temperature, Moisture, and Respiration Two Years Following Intensive Organic Matter and Compaction Manipulations in Oregon Cascade Forests

Creator:: Gallo, Adrian Carlos
Abstract:: Forest soils contain a substantial portion of global terrestrial carbon stores. Forest management can influence the soil carbon pool and how soil organic matter functions. The long-term productivity of forests is an ongoing goal where land managers utilize biomass and timber. A site-specific understanding of intensively managed forests can ensure...
