Supporting Cultural Heritage Open Source Software Symposium

Sponsored by LYRASIS

September 24 & 25, 2014
12:30 pm ET - 3:30 pm ET
Georgia Tech Learning Center
& Online

I am pleased to invite you to join us in Atlanta and online on September 24-25, 2014, for the free Supporting Cultural Heritage Open Source Software Symposium. LYRASIS is convening community leaders to identify and advance good practices for the long-term support of open source software within the library, archives and museum communities.

Successful open source projects have support structures where bugs are reported, code enhancements are created and reviewed, documentation provided, and user questions answered. In mainstream open source projects, the core people in those support structures usually come from companies with a vested interest in the ongoing health of the software. In projects from the cultural heritage community -- libraries, archives, museums -- the source of ongoing support varies widely: grant subsidized funding, in-kind donations of staff time to work on a project's community-focused needs, voluntary monetary donations or memberships to non-profit stewards of a project, sales of services by non-profit stewards to cross-subsidize community needs, and often a combination of all of these possibilities.
This online conference will provide managers of open source software projects and organization leaders with details about support practices in use in the field and to further the cooperation of cultural heritage organizations towards common interests in sustainable open source. Join us for the conversation on either day or both days!

There is no cost to attend this symposium online or at the Georgia Tech Global Learning Center. The cost of the symposium is covered by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Day 1: Creating the Conditions for Community Engagement
If you build it, will they come? The structure for encouraging and valuing the contributions of those that adopt the code is of equal importance to the functionality of the code itself. Adopters of an open source project come to rely on the software to varying degrees. In the same way, projects rely on adopters to keep the project moving forward. This session looks at what projects can do to encourage community participation.

Day 2: Deciding When Open Source is Right for You
So, whether on your own or through a service provider you've decided to use an open source package to meet an automation need in your organization. You paid nothing for the right to run the software (although you may be paying a service provider for their support of the software), so you have no obligation to the software itself, right? Arguably not. Healthy open source software is supported by a community of users, and the other participants in the open source project are counting on your support -- financial and talent -- to keep the project growing. This session outlines expectations that open source adopters should have when implementing an OSS project.

Sincerely,

Kate Nevins
