Title:
Intellectual Property, Open Source
and Free Softwarehttp://opensource.mi
t.edu/papers/vaden.pdfAbstract
The notion of
intellectual property is used in order to create digital commodities.
While the commodification of code is useful for certain kinds of
knowledge intesive work (the Taylorist forms), it severely disrupts
other types of knowledge creation. Applying Scott Lash's division of
knowledge creation into organisational and disorganisational types, we
also gain insight into the different positions towards IP held by
different wings of the FOSS community.

Title:
Capability Coordination in
Modular Organization: Voluntary FS/OSS Production and the Case of
Debian GNU/Linuxhttp:/
/opensource.mit.edu/papers/garzarelligaloppini.pdfAbstract:
The paper analyzes voluntary Free Software/Open
Source Software (FS/OSS) organization of work. The empirical setting
considered is the Debian GNU/Linux operating system. The paper finds
that the production process is hierarchical notwithstanding the
modular (nearly decomposable) architecture of software and of
voluntary FS/OSS organization. But voluntary FS/OSS project
organization is not hierarchical for the same reasons suggested by the
most familiar theories of economic organization: hierarchy is
justified for coordination of continuous change, rather than for the
direction of static production. Hierarchy is ultimately the overhead
attached to the benefits engendered by modular organization.

Title:
Knowledge Transfer in R&D
Outsourcing (and Linux-Vs-Windows)http://opensource.m
it.edu/papers/modica.pdfAbstract:
Why did
Microsoft not hire all those smart programmers who ended up developing
Linux through the internet? Because, we answer, the value of the
information about its operating system that Microsoft should have
transferred to any of them to render her productive would have been
too high compared to her expected individual contribution, so that
after writing a contract with Microsoft the typical developer would
have run away to sell the acquired knowledge on the market. On the
other hand, knowledge transfer in R&D outsourcing is not always so
critical, and for example in the pharmaceutical and chemical
industries research contracts are extensively used, usually in the
context of a long term relationship between firm and innovator. We
analyze this kind of repeated interaction, and find that when the
knowledge-transfer problem is not blocking, the firm should transfer
to the innovator as much information as it is compatible with the
latter's incentive constraints.

Title:
Blogging the Markethttp://opensourc
e.mit.edu/papers/dafermos3.pdfAbstract:
Weblogs
have been recently characterised as the "open source media". And in
much the same way that open source software is been deployed, marketed
and sold within both commercial and non-commercial contexts, weblogs
can advance both commercial and non-commercial objectives. However, in
this primary - research paper, the focus is on the benefits that
organisations can seize by embracing weblogs, and how weblogs are
bound to revitalise marketplace and workplace conversations. In
addition, several case studies are being analysed, ranging from
Slashdot and Openflows to Amazon, Macromedia, Groove Networks, and
Gizmodo.

The Big Project That

Community (Dissertation in progress)http://opensourc
e.mit.edu/papers/mccormick.pdfAbstract:
This
dissertation involved in-depth interviews of over fifty open source
developers in two major open source projects. The primary areas of
interest were 1) conducting an ethnographic study of the work
practices and culture of 'post-burecratic' organizations to see what
lessons these groups may hold for managing intellectual labor and 2)
examining whether the open source movement represents a new
professional model for software engineering.

Title:
An Economic Theory of
Free and Open Source Software: A Tour from Lighthouse to Chinese-Style
Socialism (revised version)http://opensource.mi
t.edu/papers/chiao.pdfAbstract
The theory is that
free and open source software is private property under the guise of
common property. Such software is distributed mostly under the GNU
General Public License. The intents in The GNU Manifesto suggest
striking similarities between this license and communism. The
resulting economic properties, however, are similar to those of
Chinese-style socialism: both resulted from an increased separation of
legal and economic ownership. The phenomenal growth of China in the
last twenty five years and of such software in the past few years
could be attributed to such separation.

Title:
Open Source as a Complex Adaptive System - Published in
Emergence 5 (3)http://www.emergence.org/Abstract:
The Open Source community and its
activities can be considered to have the characteristics of a system.
The Open Source system is distinctive because it is neither controlled
by a central authority that defines strategy and organization nor
totally chaotic. It can be placed at a middle position between a
planned system and a chaotic one. In this sort of position there are
non-formal rules which allow the system to produce significant
results. The Complex Adaptive System theory can be used to better
understand and analyze the Open Source system. This work presents a
description of the main characteristics of the functioning of the Open
Source community regarding its organizational structure and
development process. The concept of complex adaptive system is then
introduced and its functioning mechanisms briefly described. Finally,
we will interpret the characteristics of the Open Source community in
the context of complex adaptive systems theory.

Work-Life Balance Tilting Too Much
Towards Work
11/14/2003 02:51 PMOne of the downsides to the fact that people
can
work whenever they want is that it's sometimes hard for people to
stop working. According to a study done in Europe, many overly
stressed out workers are
asking their bosses to
cut their hours and salary just to gain back some control over
their lives. Meanwhile, many bosses in IT are increasingly worried
that their staff is going to burn out. Of course, a lot of that could
be solved if companies hired more people, but they still seem hesitant
to do so.

06/22/2004 06:48 PMEFF is hiring! EFF is the best employer I've ever had -- including
myself, when I was self-employed, and the company I helped found --
and it's hiring a new Membership Coordinator: the person in charge of
satisfying current members and increasing membership. If this sounds
like you, apply!
The Membership Coordinator reports to the Director of Development and
is a key part of EFF's fundraising team. The MC is responsible for
managing all contact with EFF's 12,000+ members, helping to develop
strategies to grow the membership, processing all donations to EFF,
mailing regular "thank-yous"and renewal notices to donors, ensuring an
efficient donation system, managing the donation pages of the website,
and responding to any issues donors may have. The MC also manages all
aspects of EFF's online shop, including order fulfillment. Additional
responsibilities include various marketing projects, including
oversight of the design and printing of t-shirts, hats, stickers,
brochures, and other materials. The MC also attends a number of
commercial conferences each year, managing the EFF booth presence and
speaking informally with conference attendees.

09/24/2004 05:45 PMBBC commentator Bill Thompson, riffing on
the ongoing dispute between Apple Computer and Apple Corps (the
Beatles), has a suggestion:
In the days they set up Apple Corps they were radical hippies who
challenged the establishment in many ways.
Wouldn't it be nice if they did the same thing now, and made the
music available without rights management systems, under a
non-commercial Creative Commons license that let others reuse their
songs?
It would be a wonderful gesture to the future, recognising that the
Fab Four only succeeded because they were inspired by those who came
before, taking riffs and musical forms from others.
Maybe it'll never happen with the Beatles. However, today's radical
musicians may wish to consider the message that wraps up Justin Cone's
Building on the Past before selling out:
Creativity always builds on the past.
And you're building the past right now.
Share now.
