Industry and Community Track

Details for call for papers for OpenSym 2015, Aug 19-21, 2015, in San Francisco, California.

Topics

Defined as “collaboration that is egalitarian (everyone can join, no principled or artificial barriers to participation exist), meritocratic (decisions and status are merit-based rather than imposed) and self-organizing (processes adapt to people rather than people adapt to pre-defined processes)“, we are seeking industry and community contributions that best exemplify this definition of open collaboration.

Industry and ommunity contributions can stem from and address the different open collaboration domains such as:

Free, libre, and open source software projects and practice
Open access projects and practice
Open data projects and practice
Open educational resources projects and practice
IT-driven open innovation projects and practice
Wikipedia and related Wikimedia foundation projects and practice
Wikis and other open collaboration projects and practice
