The Apache Software Foundation, Cyberinfrastructure, and Scientific Software: Beyond Open Source

SESSION: The Apache Software Foundation, Cyberinfrastructure, and Scientific Software: Beyond Open Source

EVENT TYPE: Birds of a Feather

TIME: 5:30PM - 7:00PM

SESSION LEADER(S):Marlon Pierce, Suresh Marru, Chris Mattmann

ROOM:251-A

ABSTRACT:
Many cyberinfrastructure and scientific software projects are adopting free and open source software practices and licensing, but establishing an open community around the software requires additional thought. The key to building and running these communities is a well-chosen governance model. In this Birds of a Feather session, we examine the Apache Software Foundation as a governance model for open source scientific software communities. The BOF will discuss both general and specific governance requirements for research software communities through interactive discussions motivated by case study presentations. The outcome will be a summary white paper co-authored by BOF volunteers.
