CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
WORKSHOP ON OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
25-26 FEBRUARY 2002
Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
(see http://www.dirc.org.uk/events/ossdw/main.html)
The focus of the Open Source Software Development workshop is on
dependability and open source software development. Dependability is
a deliberately broad term which, among others, covers reliability,
security, safety and availability.
We have put together an exciting programme (appended) and would
welcome further participation from the community. Participation would
be particularly welcomed from any of those engaged in, or affected by,
the design, development or operation of open source software. An
important objective of this workshop is a greatly improved understanding
of the complete organisational and cultural context of complex systems
of which computers are a part. To this end, we especially encourage
participation from interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners, since
we believe that such research is crucial for progress towards the safe
deployment of new technologies.
The workshop organisers particularly wish to attract a diverse range of
participants including developers, academics, and programmers but not
excluding other interested parties.
Those interested in participating in this event should send an e-mail
stating their interest to [log in to unmask], preferably by 15th
February 2002.
