Open innovation collaboration Open innovation combines internal and external ideas, as well as internal and external paths to market, to advance the development of new technologies. In this session delegates will become familiar with key open innovation concepts and models relevant to mobile open source software. The different ways in which open innovation is understood across various subject fields and organizational cultures will be discussed in connection with the different industry/academia interests and mindsets. This information will provide the general background for understanding open source development as an example of open innovation in software. The open source mobile apps context As mobile devices become more complex and more popular, educational institutions are under increasing pressure to create software and mobile web content that helps their students and staff get the information and functionality they need, on the move. At the same time, mobile manufacturers, network operators, content providers and other industry players are interested in leveraging the potential of open source mobile applications developed in these academic projects. This session will present an overview of the mobile open source development landscape. Rowan will discuss some of the general trends in open source software distribution, and the specific implications of distributing mobile applications through app stores. Open source mobile apps case studies These sessions will showcase a selection of highly innovative open source mobile application projects interested in exploring collaboration opportunities with academic and industry partners. The presentations will highlight the distinctive elements of each project and its potential to influence the existing mobile apps landscape. Webinos is an EU-funded project aiming to deliver a platform for web applications across mobile, PC, home media (TV) and in-car devices. The webinos project will define and deliver an open source platform and software components for the Future Internet in the form of web runtime extensions, to enable web applications and services to be used and shared consistently and securely over a broad spectrum of converged and connected devices, including mobile, PC, home media (TV) and in-car units. Mobile Campus Assistant is a JISC-funded Rapid Innovation project that makes time and location sensitive information available to students via their mobiles and location-aware smart phones. The source code, available under an open source license, continues to be developed for the MyMobileBristol project and provides a 'beta' service at m.bristol.ac.uk. Mobile apps open development community An active and supportive community is the heart of an open source project. An open source licence is not enough to attract new users and developers to a project. This presentation will show what steps are necessary for building a successful open source community, and how this knowledge applies to open source mobile app projects. Ross will discuss how to get an open source project community organized by providing detailed information about member roles and the contribution process, and will explain why a governance model is necessary and how to encapsulate it in a governance document. Open Source Junction self-pitch In this interactive session the delegates will have the opportunity to pitch their mobile apps interests to the other participants, and get feedback on the level of interest their presentations raised. This session will allow them to identify 'kindred spirits' and potential collaboration partners for the workshop and beyond. Software open innovation case studies In this presentation a series of case studies of open innovation in software will illustrate the complexity of the open innovation landscape and the wide range of issues associated with the collaboration between partners with different mindsets and interests. McLaren, IBM, Oracle, Orange, Hulu are some of the projects Roland was involved in at NESTA and 100% Open. Roland will show how, if properly managed, collaboration between partners from apparently unrelated fields may result in unexpected, highly innovative solutions. Building an industry-academia open source community Industry-academia collaborations are notoriously difficult to set up, partly due to the different mindsets associated with their organizational cultures. These partnerships are even more challenging to manage when collaboration concerns open source software. However, challenges bring new opportunities. Gabriel will discuss some of these opportunities, and their relevance for an industry-academia community interested in open source mobile technologies. The open source mobile business context The quickly changing landscape of mobile technologies, products and services has determined a diversification of the associated business models built around them. The open source software used in some of these mobile products and services has promoted alternative business models inspired by open source software exploitation. In this talk Ross will provide an overview of the various business models used in mobile open source software, and discuss how these models may affect collaboration between distributed teams co-developing mobile apps. Processes and tools for open development collaboration A key feature of open source projects is that software produced is released early and often. In order to do this, well-defined processes for managing communication and software contribution are needed. A number of tools are essential, including mailing lists for project communication, issue trackers for release-planning, and version control systems for tracking the released code. However, managing code and team communication is only part of the open source recipe for success. Projects need to make themselves known to the world if they want to attract new users and contributors. This session will provide an overview of the processes and tools useful for the management of open source mobile app projects. Sander will also introduce delegates to the OSS Watch project registry, a web application for the management of RDF/XML project descriptors that can help mobile apps projects enhance their discoverability, and thus increase their chances of attracting new contributors. Open development IPR for appstores and beyond Writing software often results in more than one piece of property: program source code is property, as is the preparatory design material, the general organization, or user interface. When working as part of a group of multiple employers, contractors or individuals, or when some parties are based outside the UK, then the ownership of the resulting property can be complex. In order to be safe, one should make sure that agreements or contracts specify who will own the intellectual property that results from any collaboration, consortium or contract work. In this presentation Rowan will discuss open development IPR and licensing issues relevant to producing and distributing software through app stores and other forms of mobile apps co-development. Mobile apps and open source business models Only a few years ago, mentioning the words 'business' and 'open source' in the same sentence solicited strange remarks from audiences unaware that large business economies exist around open source software. Indeed, over the last few years many different business models have evolved around open source, so it has become important for both open source producers and vendors to consider what business model may be appropriate for addressing the target market in question. This talk will present an overview of the various components of open source business models. Ross will also discuss a number of sustainability issues associated with building business models for the increasingly crowded mobile app market. Open Source Junction speed-date In this interactive session delegates will have an opportunity to select partners from among the other participants and discuss with them the most important issues associated with co-developing and monetizing open source mobile apps. Open Source Junction community: next steps This final session will review the most important issues likely to affect the creation of a mobile tech industry-academia open source community. Using the knowledge accumulated during the workshop, the delegates will identify the next steps necessary to start building this community.
