Ironically mo st of the essential services we use today -- including authenticating iden tity -- rely on large\, proprietary\, centralized services.\n\nUsers ough t to be able to share messages and files securely with one another without relying an a third party such as Google or Facebook. Ideally we ought to be able to securely authenticate with service providers anonymously in ord er to truly prevent becoming the product of surveillance capitalism.\n\nTh e traditional X.509 Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) has demonstrated weakn esses due to centralization. Mitigations such as Certificate Transparency only partially address these weaknesses.\n\nThe Web of trust based on Pret ty Good Privacy (PGP) in theory offers a truly decentralized identity solu tion. However\, in practice\, broad success of PGP in identity has been st ymied by overwhelming complexity\, excruciatingly poor user experience des ign\, and difficulty in integrating the required software with popular ema il providers.\n\nThere is promising W3C standards work in the areas of De centralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials\, yet implementa tions often depend on proof-of-work based crypto or token exchanges with a symmetric ownership and control. What's more DID resolution (anchoring in non-repudiation framework) is often either closed or left as an exercise for the reader.\n\nThe purpose of this talk is to highlight the challenges in open source identity and brainstorm approaches which leverage the best parts of the Web of trust and the W3C standards work while preserving the values the FOSS community holds dear.

Many maintainers know about add ing a CONTRIBUTING.md file to their project\, but is this enough to effect ively support and integrate newcomers into your project? In this session\, Elizabeth Barron and Justin W. Flory will provide a baseline for newcomer onboarding in today’s landscape and a close look at the CHAOSS and Fedo ra projects as real communities of practice.\n\nWhile CONTRIBUTING.md file s provide potential contributors with information and support to join the community\, they have certain bounds. A poor onboarding experience can act ually work against you and turn them away before their first contribution. Building an effective and inclusive onboarding process is crucial to ensu ring a healthy open source community.\n\nIn this talk\, you will learn abo ut:\n\n- establishing a baseline for what “newcomer onboarding” means in today’s open source landscape\n- implementing actionable steps to eas e onboarding for newcomers and maintainers\n- two communities and their ne xt steps for improving the contributor onboarding experience.\n\nElizabeth and Justin will represent the CHAOSS Project and the Fedora Project as pa rticipants\, maintainers\, and leaders in the communities and how experime nts with newcomer onboarding led to lessons learned and the growth of the contributor ecosystem.

As a result\, the need for enterprises to keep up with this pace has gr own and we are rapidly moving towards a more data-driven society. With the help of AI/ML technology\, we have the power to make knowledgeable data d riven decisions and effectively identify new trends and patterns\, leading to more creative solutions and innovative approaches to problem-solving.\ n\nIn light of the recent advancements in AI\, particularly in predictive modeling\, we now have a powerful tool at our disposal to quickly consume and analyze vast amounts of data. By using open source time series forecas ting ML models like ARIMA and Prophet\, we can provide more accurate predi ctions and insights in real-time\, enabling organizations and teams to str eamline processes and increase efficiency\, improve and manage customer ri sk\, and adapt to changing market conditions. In this talk we will discuss :\n1. Open Source tooling for building predictive ML models (Python\, Jupy ter\, MLFLow)\n2. Time series forecasting techniques\n3. Tips for managing ML workflows and model interpretations\n\nAttendees will leave this talk with a deeper understanding of predictive ML models and how open source ca n empower us to be more data driven.

Our solution is a student-centric e-content d evelopment platform based on the Pre-Freshman Accelerated Curriculum in En gineering (PACE) program's Virtual Interactive Learning\, Training\, and P erformance platform (VILTA).\n\nThe PACE program\, with a strong track rec ord of promoting student advancement and retention (with a 55% four-year g raduation rate and a 24% advanced STEM degree completion rate). PACE was e stablished in 1987 as a face to face on campus program. The vision of the PACE program is to motivate and inspire students to obtain an advanced ST EM degree. This program has evolved into a semi-immersive and entirely re mote learning experience\, PACE VILTA. This evolution motivates the applic ation of open-source software to transform PACE VILTA into a comprehensive student-centric e-content development platform.\n\nBy integrating AI with KM and EL on this platform\, we aim to automate knowledge extraction\, ca tegorization\, and distribution. The platform will be designed to personal ize EL content\, adapt to individual learners' pace\, and enable precise a ssessments.\n\nVR and AR technologies will be introduced via gaming tools into an open-source Learning Management System (LMS) creating immersive\, interactive\, and contextual EL environments. An open-source metaverse\, a unique feature of this platform\, will facilitate e-content usage and sha ring. The LMS's built-in controls will track students' progress through th e e-content development cycle\, ensuring alignment with the implemented e- content framework.\n\nThis platform will serve as a testing ground for var ious e-content frameworks\, simplify e-content creation with VR and AR too ls\, and promote collaborative constructivism learning. By enabling the in tegration of diverse investigative techniques\, the platform targets the i mprovement of active learning models\, encourages innovative e-content fra meworks\, and provides a medium for validating learning principles\, theor ies\, and concepts.\n\nThe proposed research will focus on these dynamic i ntegrations\, anticipating comprehensive insights into the innovative amal gamation of AI\, VR\, and AR with KM and EL\, powered by open-source softw are. The findings will extend the body of knowledge\, suggest future resea rch directions\, and provide valuable guidelines for organizations and edu cational institutions seeking to improve their KM and EL initiatives throu gh open-source innovation.\n\nThe primary objective of this research is to foster advancements in Knowledge Management (KM) and E-Learning (EL) syst ems worldwide. It aims to make these systems not only economically feasibl e but also versatile and easily accessible to a broad spectrum of users. T he anticipated influence of this study is extensive\, encompassing a wide range of learners\, from students at Morgan State University to those in K -12 education\, adult learners\, and participants in industry training pro grams. Furthermore\, it aspires to have a transformative impact on governm ental agencies across the globe\, further broadening the reach and applica bility of its findings LOCATION:E143 URL:http://2023.fossy.us/schedule/presentation/183/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Unconference: DEI and FOSS DTSTART;TZID=US/Pacific:20230715T103000 DTEND;TZID=US/Pacific:20230715T123000 DTSTAMP:20240304T203845Z UID:149@2023.fossy.us CATEGORIES: DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Georg Link\nJoin us for an unconference session on Di versity\, Equity\, and Inclusion (DEI) and Free and Open Source Software ( FOSS). For this session\, we have no topics prepared because we are follow ing an unconference format. This means that we will have participant-drive n discussions.

It can be hard for already overwor ked maintainers to balance the day to day work required to keep the projec t running while investing in activities to increase future sustainability. The good news is that we have best practices\, resources\, and templates available to make it easier for maintainers and projects to build a contri butor strategy that leads to a strong and growing community for an open so urce project over the long term. This talk will help you apply those resou rces in your project.\n\nThis talk will have several major sections. 1) Di scussion about the major factors that impact contributor growth. 2) Develo ping and executing on a long-term contributor growth strategy\, including governance\, new contributor onboarding\, and mentoring. 3) Using contribu tor ladders to promote contributors into leadership positions as more main tainers to share the workload can reduce maintainer burnout over time. 4) Metrics for measuring project sustainability.\n\nThe audience will walk aw ay with a better understanding of how to grow their contributor base and b uild a community around their open source project.

We have been around for 22 years\; we have 140 members. We pl ay an essential role in several open web platform projects such as Chromiu m/Blink\, WebKit (WPE & WebKitGTK)\, Firefox and Servo. We have contribute d to GNOME / GTK+ / Maemo\, WebKit / WebKitGtk+ / JSC\, Blink / V8\, Gecko / SpiderMonkey projects\, amongst others.\n\nThe reason we started as a c o-op and the reason the focus of our work is Free and Open Source software are one and the same. Both are implementations of our values\, in a word: egalitarianism.\n\nIn this talk you will hear a bit about our history. We will focus on how we found our FOSS business niche and how we grew from a few friends to 140 people in more than 25 countries all the while maintai ning our flat organization structure. You will learn what it's like to par ticipate in a company that is run by an Assembly\, the decision making bod y that includes every Igalian\, instead of a hierarchy of bosses.\n\nWe ho pe that this talk will expand the limits of your imagination on what a com pany can look like\, and that next time you think about starting your own company or looking for a new job\, you consider a co-op!

T hey used it LONG ago\, or they use it for every application they can. This talk follows Michael's journey using GNU/Linux and FreeBSD\, with stops a t OpenBSD\, and NetBSD along the way. The unique features of FreeBSD range from subtle to obvious\, and have arrived at a slow but steady pace that has allowed it to stay remarkably consistent but ever advancing over its t hirty year history. These features include a permissive license\, an exemp lary network stack\, multiple packet filters\, the Jail container\, the bh yve and Xen hypervisors\, and the UFS and ZFS file systems. FreeBSD's cons istency makes it a delight to work with and operate\, with changes consist ently adding value\, rather than delivering change for change's sake. This approach has allowed user to develop "muscle memory" that can genuinely l ast decades. This talk will provide an overview of FreeBSD's compelling fe atures big and small.

There are a lot of entities that donate these res ources into the community from Universities\, to ISPs. The reasons why en tities put forth this effort varies a lot\, but ultimately they all share the want to help make it easy\, and accessible\, to acquire FOSS.\n\nIn ea rly 2022 Kenneth Finnegan approached John 'Warthog9' Hawley with an idea " hey we should build up a new public mirror for the internet exchange since the one that was there seems to have left". Once completed\, Kenneth ask ed another question which set in motion much bigger things "what if we mad e mirrors out of $20 surplus thin clients?" which has turned into a cluste r of 29 machines in a number of countries on 4 continents. This is a stor y of how FOSS mirroring works\, the idea that was had behind the Micro Mir ror (MM) project and how this helps the FOSS community from end to end\, a nd what projects and users can do to help the entirety of the mirroring in frastructure out there.

We need to "keep it going for the long haul"\, de velop a "sustainable business model"\, and occasionally even "sustain sust ainability conversations". There's even a conference about it. It happened on Wednesday. But the entire discussion falls down upon close scrutiny. W hat does sustainability mean for open source? Does it apply to the license s\, to particular projects\, to users\, to the ecosystem? How do we unders tand the community health of open source on a temporal spectrum? Why "sust ain" in the first place\, and for what\, and for whom?\n\nAnd what's at ri sk if we're not sustainable? Proprietary code eating the world? Burn-out? AI? All of us moving to San Francisco and working for ad tech\, even thoug h the rent is too darn high? \n\nI've held hundreds of conversations about sustaining open source over the past few years. I want to share the limit s of the term\, where it doesn't fit our abstractions\, and how some of th e models we use to understand open source sustainability could be updated or improved. This is a talk for skeptics. It's also a talk for dreamers - because without understanding where the gaps are\, it's near impossible to bridge them.

I n this session we'll share some compassion and then some ideas of how we c an actually get together as a community of practice. And then we'll do som e practice demos together! \n\nIn putting energy toward working on our pra ctices together\, we center the importance of Open Knowledge sharing and b uilding communities for those and of those whose work includes enabling ot hers to be successful in using and contributing to FOSS. We help ourselves fix our own leaky roofs\, make shoes for our own friends and family\, and help return time to everyone’s days.\n\nTo engage in practice in this s ession\, we'll explore a perspective on how to read and use the Open Sourc e Way\, the guidebook for community management. Written by a diverse group of more than a dozen FOSS expert practitioners\, the guide extrapolates a nd distills knowledge of not just what to do and how to do it\, but also w hy to do it. The chapters and checklists are ready to use and/or modify\, and Karsten will chop and mix them live in the session.\n\nHow can this he lp you use the guidebook and practices? Whether you are leading or guiding a Free/Open project\, an engineering team\, or any group of humans lookin g to be successful working within FOSS projects\, you are facing the need to teach and reteach (and reteach…) the same information and practices. People need to know what to do\, how to do it\, and where to do it\, while you hope you get them to understand a smattering of why it all matters in the short time you have their attention.\n\nThis practice demo follows 3 steps to take the detailed and specific practices in the guidebook\, and r emix them to fit your education and practice needs. The contributors you s upport then have a tool to guide them in successfully creating\, building\ , and maintaining their FOSS projects.

Agaric uses Drupal and has contributed to a plethora of Drupal modules and documentation.\n\nSome highlights of our current work and projects we are involved in are Drutopia and Visions Unite.\n\nDrutopia (https://drut opia.org/) is a Drupal distribution for organizations to be able to coordi nate and share their work publicly.

Vi sion Unite seeks to provide a neutral infrastructure for conversations and coordination to extend to many more people\, as equals\, than it traditio nally has. Visions Unite uses sortition (random selection of participants) as a tool for participants to choose what messages are distributed to gro ups they represent so that quality information and ideas are surfaced in a democratic manner.

For example\, some worry that AI could be used to create proprietary software that is more powerful and efficient than OSS. Additionally\, others worry that AI could be used to automate the developm ent of FOSS\, which could lead to a decline in the number of people willin g to contribute to open source projects.\n\nHowever\, there are also a num ber of ways in which AI can be used to help sustain open source. For examp le\, AI can be used to:\n\n* Automate tasks: AI can be used to automate a number of tasks currently performed by humans\, such as writing unit tests . This can free human developers to focus on more creative and strategic w ork.\n\n* Improve quality: AI can improve the quality of FOSS by identifyi ng and fixing bugs as well as security vulnerabilities. \n\n* Attract new contributors: AI can attract new contributors to open source projects by m aking it easier for people to get involved. For example\, AI can generate documentation and tutorials and then be improved by contributors to fix ha llucinations.\n\nOverall\, AI has the potential to both help and hurt open source.

Going "beyond the headlines"\, this talk shows ho w to leverage open source libraries in Python to work with text and image content\, from the perspective of an author\, editor\, or illustrator. We 'll look at how to leverage advanced and "AI-adjacent" tooling such as lan guage models\, data annotation\, graph technologies\, interactive visualiz ations\, etc.\, for assisting creators to understand the content better an d collaborate more effectively. For example: What are the themes discussed ? Who are the characters? What are the relationships between the character s? Where was concept "XYZZY" first introduced? Did the "Blarg" character a ctually purchase a quantum transmogrifier before its first use in the stor y? How do the themes within the content map to the beats in the story arc? What is the "concept density" per chapter\, in terms of the pace of new ideas being introduced? How can language models help suggest or refine the prompt engineering used for illustrating a story? Where are illustrations needed?\n\nThese approaches apply in the production of fiction\, as well as games\, movie scripts\, plays\, documentaries\, and various non-fiction as well.\n\nWe'll review an example: development of an ebook in the style of Japanese Light Novels (a cli-fy novel "Latent Space") where artists ex perimented with collages using components from generative AI\, prompts nee ded to be tracked\, themes images needed to be aligned with text themes\, and so on.\n\nPython provides a wide range of available tooling (`spaCy`\, `argilla`\, `huggingface`\, `pyvis`\, and so on) as well as data infrastr ucture tooling to support content work at scale.

In this talk \, I share findings and insights from our research team’s mixed-method r esearch into the social and technical maintenance of free and open-source software. This is based on interviews with maintainers and stakeholders ac ross a wide variety of FOSS projects\, as well as quantitative analyses of code repositories. In particular\, I discuss the often-invisible and non- technical work that maintainers do to support their projects as they grow and scale. The work of maintaining these projects is no small feat\, parti cularly given the many different kinds of work expected of maintainers. Th is is especially the case for projects that achieve “catastrophic succes s” in being relied upon by more and more users and institutions. \n\nMai ntainers must maintain not only code\, but a community around that code. T hese communities are constantly changing\, and maintainers can find themse lves needing to mediate competing visions of how the project ought to oper ate and where it may go in the future. I particularly focus on the invisib le work of scaling projects and managing projects as they grow – not jus t in terms of their own size\, but also in terms of their integration with in complex and ever-changing networks of other FOSS projects and ecosystem s\, corporate and academic user-institutions\, foundations and funders\, a nd other stakeholders. \n\nThis work is often quite different to the more- visible software engineering work that maintainers do early in their proje cts. There is often little training or resources for community-based work\ , which is often not tracked or made visible in the way software engineeri ng work is. I discuss how this invisible work can impact maintainers' ment al health\, with many cases of burnout arising from maintainers finding th emselves overwhelmed with their expanded roles. Invisible work also inters ects with other relevant issues to the sustainability of FOSS projects\, i ncluding funding models\, corporate relations\, project governance\, and d iversity & inclusion. I conclude with recommendations for FOSS maintainers \, contributors\, funders\, end-users\, institutional users\, and other st akeholders in the broad ecosystems supported by FOSS.

In the democratically run open source organization\, the question of ‘who is entitled to vote’ arises. This problem is known a s the ‘boundary problem’ within political philosophy [Whelan\,1983]. The principle of affected interests\, loosely stated as “Those who are a ffected by a decision making process\, should have input into that decisio n making process.” is one way to approach this problem.\n\nGiven the aff ected interests principle\, the short answer to “Who is entitled to vote ” within an open source organization is the contributors and users. But as soon as we answer the voting entitlement question\, several other ques tions concerning the boundary problem arise\, such as: 1) Should the votes of contributors be weighted based on contribution size?\; 2) Should the vote of the user be implicit\, i.e.\, should the user’s vote be based on consumption or the market?\; 3) What constitutes a contributor or user?\; and 4) Who gets to initially decide the answers to all of these questions ?\n\nWhile discussion of whether to even be a democratically run organizat ion is covered elsewhere [Ellerman\, 1990]\, the difficulty associated wit h answering questions are used as disincentives against democratizing in g eneral and against democratizing open source organizations specifically\, so we will address them here.

Engagement in FOSS fosters students’ technical\, professional and personal developm ent in ways that "class-size" projects cannot. Students can study and inte ract with large\, complex\, real-world software artifacts\, tools\, and de velopment processes central to modern software development and in high dem and. They can observe and practice professional skills including communica tion\, collaboration\, critical thinking\, question asking\, and technical writing. In addition\, growing evidence suggests that a context of social good\, such as in FOSS projects with humanitarian goals (HFOSS)\, may att ract more women and other underrepresented student groups to computing. Ho wever\, these advantages come with a number of practical and cultural chal lenges. Work in FOSS communities is often less structured\, even chaotic\, as compared to traditional academic assignments. The content and timing o f community responses to student inquiries and contributions may not align well with student background or assignment due dates. Assignments create d around a project can be rendered quickly obsolete as the project evolves . As a result\, faculty doing this work have found it difficult to transit ion students from classroom activities to participating in open source pro jects “in the wild.”\n\nThis talk will present our work on two interme diate steps\, HFOSS Kits and Education-Oriented HFOSS Projects\, designed to bridge the gap between classroom activities and student participation i n FOSS “in the wild.” An HFOSS kit is a snapshot of an active HFOSS pr oject’s artifacts (code-base(s)\, issues\, documentation\, communication s\, etc.)\, taken at a particular point in time and packaged with student learning activities\, an instructor guide\, and a containerized developmen t environment. Using a snapshot that is independent of the live project cr eates an authentic environment\, while enabling the creation of reusable e ducational activities and providing a more comfortable space for students to experiment and learn. Using a containerized development environment min imizes startup time\, allows automated context-sensitive feedback\, and th e simulation of community interaction. Education-Oriented HFOSS Projects\, have real clients and are consciously designed and managed to facilitate faculty and undergraduate student engagement. Some examples managed by ou r team include LibreFoodPantry\, FarmData2\, Open Energy Dashboard\, and O pen Circuits. These are ongoing projects that continue across semesters an d welcome outside participation. They are often humanitarian in nature and connect to causes or communities that align with institutional mission an d student experiences. They use modern technologies but are architected\, scoped and managed to facilitate student learning\, support specific curri cular goals\, accommodate academic schedules\, and understand that these o bjectives will slow project development. As entire new cohorts of students engage each term\, particular attention is paid to onboarding\, including documentation at the appropriate level and fully containerized developmen t environments that make the process as easy as possible.\n\nWe have talke d about these approaches at computing education conferences and are excite d to hear different perspectives on our approaches from FOSS practitioners and educators in this community. Thus\, significant time will be allocate d for feedback and discussion with the audience.

DevPod is a new ope n source tool that allows users to launch dev containers with any infrastr ucture that they have available.\n\nDevPod uses a provider model like Terr aform's\, and there are currently providers for many different infrastruct ures\, like local Docker daemons\, Kubernetes\, AWS\, and several other cl oud providers. It's also possible to develop providers if you don't find o ne that fits your needs.\n\nWhile you can choose the infra you want to use with DevPod\, you don't have to manage it. DevPod handles the lifecycle o f the infrastructure it runs on\, and it can even suspend cloud resources automatically to save on costs. DevPod uses the open devcontainer.json sta ndard\, so it's compatible with VS Code and many other IDEs\, as well as t ools like Codespaces.\n\nWe'll look at how DevPod works and get into a qui ck demo that showcases how it can help developers and teams standardize th eir dev environments.

This recent piece in Science describes another automated science facility at Lawrence Berkeley National Laborator y focused on "recipes" for materials used in batteries. In some cases\, th ese facilities are built for start-up or private companies that explicitly do not want to share their trade secrets\, proprietary information\, etc. The opportunity at hand with CMU's CloudLab is redesigning and re-enginee ring the workflows to be more open and conducive for cooperation within an d perhaps beyond the walls of a university. Working with the originators a nd CMU leadership of CloudLab\, the CMU OSPO has identified important ques tions regarding this redesign and re-engineering process including the dif ferent types of artifacts with varying degrees of possible IP issues\, wor kflows connecting software and hardware artifacts\, and questions regardin g interoperability with external systems. Perhaps most interestingly\, thi s work affirms a phrase stated by Josh Greenberg from the Sloan Foundation regarding "rolling wall of openness" rather than a binary view of open or closed with the prospects of embargoes in a new context. This talk will o utline these issues and proposed approaches for addressing them with an ob jective of engaging the broader community who will eventually encounter si milar issues at various institutions including universities.

Coming off a breakthrough year with numerous legislative breakthroughs\, it's important that we understand the building blocks of our campaign's success and look to the challenges that lie ahea d\, particularly in the realm of free and open-source software (FOSS).\n\n So far\, 2023 has seen governors in three states sign Right to Repair bill s into law: a consumer electronics focused bill in New York\, a Minnesota law that improved upon the New York bill and added in enterprise electroni cs\, and a first-of-its kind Colorado law targeting tractors and other far m equipment. We'll talk about the problems that those bills solve\, the in dustries that we still need to address\, and our plan to make translate th ose state-level victories into nationwide change.\n\nAll this progress did n't occur overnight. We'll explore the strategic and tactical building blo cks that contributed to the success of the Right to Repair movement\, and dissect the combination of advocacy\, legislation\, and public education c ampaigns that were instrumental turning our policy ideas into concrete cha nge.\n\nThe conversation will then shift to discuss the next push for this movement: breaking free from the confines of proprietary software. As our focus expands from hardware to software\, the talk will illuminate the im portance of FOSS in establishing full ownership of devices and how FOSS ca n help bridge the gap between physical and digital repairability. In parti cular\, we'll discuss the infrastructure that we need to build—coalition s\, research\, legal arguments\, and engineering capacity—and the increm ental steps we need to take to bring about our vision\, all with an eye to ward the model that the Right to Repair movement has established.\n\nFinal ly\, this talk will address the role of the FOSS community in pushing for the same level of success as the Right to Repair movement. It will shed li ght on how the community needs to rethink and intensify its efforts to pro mote open-source software\, ensure user freedom\, and counter the monopoli stic practices of proprietary software developers. Suggestions will be off ered for actionable steps that the FOSS community can take to leverage the ir resources\, foster collaborative innovation\, and drive significant cha nge in this space.\n\nThis talk promises to offer a holistic view of the R ight to Repair movement\, its intersection with FOSS\, and a call to actio n for the open-source community. By looking at where we've been\, where we stand\, and where we need to go\, we can chart our path into the next fro ntier for our digital rights and ownership.

The utilization of students as developers within such a program highlig hts their unique contributions\, benefits\, and the challenges involved.\n \nThe growing recognition of research software as a fundamental component of the scientific process has led to the establishment of both academic OS POs and RSE groups. These groups aim to enhance software engineering pract ices within research projects\, enabling robust and sustainable software s olutions. The integration of an OSPO into an RSE group within a university environment provides an intriguing fusion of open source principles and r esearch software engineering expertise.\n\nEngaging students as developers in an OSPO-RSE group brings numerous advantages. It provides students wit h valuable experience in real-world software development\, enabling them t o bridge the gap between academia and industry. By actively participating in open source projects\, students can refine their technical skills\, lea rn industry best practices\, and gain exposure to collaborative software d evelopment workflows. Involving students in open source projects enhances their educational experience. They have the opportunity to work on meaning ful research software projects alongside experienced professionals\, tackl ing real-world challenges and making tangible contributions to the scienti fic community. This exposure to open source principles and practices foste rs a culture of innovation\, collaboration\, and knowledge sharing.\n\nThi s approach also raises questions. How can the objectives and metrics of su ccess for an academic OSPO-RSE group be defined and evaluated? What govern ance models and collaboration mechanisms are required to balance the acade mic freedom of researchers with the community-driven nature of open source ? How can the potential conflicts between traditional academic practices a nd the open source ethos be effectively addressed? How can teams balance a cademic commitments with project timelines? These questions highlight the need for careful consideration and exploration of the organizational\, cul tural\, and ethical aspects associated with an OSPO acting as an RSE group within a university.\n\nLeveraging student developers in an OSPO-RSE grou p also presents challenges that need careful consideration. Students may h ave limited experience in software engineering practices\, requiring mento ring and guidance to ensure the quality and sustainability of the research software they contribute to. Balancing academic commitments with project timelines and expectations can also be a challenge\, necessitating effecti ve project management strategies and clear communication channels. Further more\, the ethical considerations of involving students as developers in o pen source projects must be addressed\, ensuring the protection of intelle ctual property\, respecting licensing requirements\, and maintaining data privacy.\n\nThe involvement of students as developers within an OSPO-RSE g roup offers valuable benefits. The effective integration of students in th is context requires thoughtful planning\, mentorship\, and attention to et hical considerations. This talk will examine the experience of the Open So urce with SLU program to explore the dynamic role of student developers in an OSPO-RSE program and engage in discussions on best practices\, challen ges\, and the future potential of this distinctive approach to research so ftware engineering within academia.

Women and people of color are significantly underrepr esented among computing students\, and these groups provide an opportunity to both create a more equitable discipline and meet the need for more com puting graduates. In order to attract more of these students\, computing e ducators must improve the quality\, appeal and student success rate in com puting degree programs.\n\nThis presentation discusses an education effort that helps to address this challenge by expanding the community of facult y incorporating Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software (HFOSS) into co mputing education. HFOSS education provides a collaborative environment th at supports active learning with real-world tasks. Students gain both tech nical and professional skills while also acquiring a first-hand understand ing of the potential for computing to have both social relevance and posit ive societal impact. The ability of computing to “do good” has been sh own to attract women and other underrepresented groups into computing disc iplines.\n\nThe project is intended to have broader impact in the followin g areas: a) improving student retention and expanding appeal to women and underrepresented groups\; b) providing real-world learning of professional and technical skills in a complex\, authentic environment that prepares s tudents for professional practice\; c) extending understanding of the impa ct of HFOSS pedagogy and approaches on student and instructor role and ide ntities\; and d) increasing student understanding of the potential of comp uting to improve the human condition and in student awareness of professio nal responsibility.\n\nInitial work has included several surveys of underg raduate students (209 and 360 participants) that indicate women and underr epresented groups are more strongly motivated by the humanitarian nature o f HFOSS projects. The presentation will include results of these surveys a nd discussion of HFOSS education as an approach to making computing more d iverse while also advancing student knowledge of open source.

Responsibility for data\, properly storing and retrieving data\, sca lably processing data… it can be a bit much. This talk will focus on a l ater-stage of the data lifecycle: serving data visualizations and analysis with sustainability in mind.\nAbout a year ago\, our team had to pick whi ch tool we wanted to use to serve data visualizations and metrics to stake holders. We had a laundry-list of requirements\, some being deal-breakers while others were nice-to-haves. Our final verdict was a project that fit specific needs for us as a data science team\, but in the process of choos ing\, we piloted a diverse variety of other alternative projects.\nThe fra mework for this talk is simple: introduce a collection of stand-out data v isualization projects and discuss the pros and cons of each as we see them for a variety of use cases. \nAll considered projects are open source. Th ey will be introduced in ascending order of interface complexity- and perh aps descending order of customizability. For example\, the first project p rovides the user with a UI for doing data analysis- a later project will r equire a Python back-end. \nThe intended take-away of this talk is to prov ide attendees with a survey of projects that could serve them\, and to sho rtcut the attendees own path toward finding a solution that works best for their team\, minimizing platform-churn and saving time.

Hislop\nIn an ideal world\, students would graduate from college with a comprehensive understanding of open source a nd an ability to contribute to an open source community in some significan t way. In reality\, while all students know about open source and most st udents use open source products\, very few students have much understandin g of open source. Students do not know how large open source is\, they ha ve no idea that open source can be a career\, and little awareness of the tools and processes that make open source communities successful. This pr esentation will present results of surveys that exemplify the very shallow student understanding of open source. \n\nImproving open source educatio n would benefit both students and open source communities. Student benefi ts from open source participation include exposure to an evolving\, comple x software system\, development of professional skills\, improved technica l skills\, better understanding of team-based development in a distributed environment and more.\n\nOpen source communities can also benefit from st udent participation. Students can relieve more experienced developers from routine tasks such as bug verification and documentation\, and they have added incentive to participate due to class requirements. In addition\, st udents can be supported by academic infrastructure so that they are not re lying solely on the OSS community for learning. Finally\, open source edu cation will help ensure a continuing flow of professional developers into open source projects.\n\nIn order to prepare students for open source\, st udents must learn about open source culture\, tools\, and processes.. Unfo rtunately\, many schools are not teaching even basic open source tools suc h as version control\, issue trackers\, and CI/CD pipelines\, and only a s mall number of schools are covering open source processes or culture. How can educators better prepare students for open source by incorporating t hese necessary skills and information into an undergraduate program? This talk will discuss the gap between undergraduate computing education and op en source community expectations\, the reasons for this gap\, and approach es for bridging the gap.
