International workshop on the Critical Aspects of Releasing Open Source
Software (CAReOSS)

Held in conjunction with the 14th International Conference on Open Source
Systems (OSS 2018 <http://www.oss2018.org>)

Sunday, June 10th 2018, Harokopio University <http://www.hua.gr>, Athens,
Greece
Call For Papers

Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) is playing an essential role in the
success of the large, complex and sophisticated software solutions that we
design, build and deploy today and its ongoing adoption among businesses,
governments, and other organizations offers a constantly expanding ground
for collaboration, business development and innovation.

The workshop aims to bring together researchers, practitioners and members
of the FLOSS community to discuss the critical underpinnings of a decision
to release software with a Free/Libre Open Source License. The goal is to
identify and elaborate on the pragmatic concerns involved in the decision,
covering aspects that include, but are not limited to, the following:

   - FLOSS and business models: Can it strengthen a business model, paving
   the way to new opportunities?
   - FLOSS and innovation: Is it suitable for an innovative startup or
   small company?
   - FLOSS and licensing: Which license should be chosen and what risks are
   involved, if any?
   - FLOSS and communities: What social and technical skills are required
   to build an international FLOSS community?
   - FLOSS and the software lifecycle: How FLOSS affects the software
   development lifecycle (methodology, tooling, project governance and team
   management)?
   - FLOSS and sustainability: How does the cost of developing and
   maintaining FLOSS compares to developing and maintaining proprietary
   software? By and large, is FLOSS more sustainable than proprietary software?

The workshop seeks for contributions that will elaborate on the above or
related topics and discuss lessons learned, suggest best practices, report
on previous experience (reflecting on successes or failures), pinpoint
anti-patterns, and, ultimately, articulate the crucial issues to be taken
under consideration by the decision makers (such as software developers,
product managers, business stakeholders).
