The FLOSS’2008 workshop aims at discussing the multiple issues coming around the diffusion of F/LOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software).

  • The first workshop addressed three main topics: the FLOSS production and the Organization of Open Source Communities; FLOSS public and private uses; the impacts of FLOOS on software industry organization. We still welcome submissions falling into these fields
  • In this second workshop, we also encourage submissions related to two related areas: a) cooperation within other type of online communities (as file-sharing, file storage & back-up communities, other type of knowledge-producing communities, etc.) ; b) generalization of the Open model to other domains (open models, degrees of openness, hybrid models)
