Mobilization of Software Developers: The Free Software Movement by Margret S. Elliott and Walter Scacchi
http://ope nsource.mit.edu/papers/elliottscacchi2.pdf

Abstract by Author:
Free/open source software (F/OSS) development projects are growing at a rapid rate. Globally dispersed virtual communities with large groups of software developers contribute time and effort often without pay. One force behind this phenomenon is the Free Software Movement (FSM), a 20 year-old social movement whose purpose is to promote the use of free software instead of proprietary software. We show how the ideology of the FSM influences software development work practices in F/OSS communities and how an occupational community of F/OSS developers has emerged from this movement. We present results from an empirical study of a F/OSS development community, GNUenterprise (GNUe) whose purpose is to build an Enterprise Resource Planning system. We show how the beliefs in freedom and freedom of choice, and the values of cooperative work and community building are manifested in the GNUe norms of informal self-management, immediate acceptance of fellow contributors, and open disclosure.

Big Flexible Software Or Focused
Situational Software?

Big Flexible Software Or Focused
Situational Software? 09/03/2004 05:04 AM
Earlier this year, we wrote about Clay Shirky's vision of situati onal software -- suggesting that a new (often, younger) generation of software developers wasn't focused on big, web-based applications that could scale, but small, quick-and-dirty applications to serve a specific purpose for a specific group of people. In fact, they were often designed by non-programmers, with the goal of just making one particular task for one, focused, group more efficient. This view of things has been supported by people like Charles Simonyi who is trying to work on tools to help people build such quick-and-dirty apps without any programming background. At the same time, efforts from Sun and Microsoft to offer up increas ingly simple tools for non-programmers to program all suggest a move in that direction. However, from Between the Lines, comes a pointer to an analysis that appears to be suggesting exactly the opposite. As the world moves towards service oriented architectures, it predicts "the end of craft software", which will be replaced by big, but flexible, web services components that can easily be modified to meet ever-changing needs. The suggestion is that, by designing to web services standards, developers will finally be able to wipe out some of the quality problems associated with existing software offerings. Both sides seem a little idealistic in their visions. For years we've had attempts at making programming tools for non-programmers and that hasn't gone very far. Meanwhile, the idea of componentized jigsaw puzzle software has been trotted out on a fairly regular basis -- and while there have been religious wars on various implementations, very little has actually changed in the way most companies develop software. So, which direction is the world really going in? In some sense, the answer may be both (and neither). The idea of more open "service oriented" systems is clearly the way where enterprise systems need to move. However, beneath that level, the idea of more niche, focused applications (perhaps designed by non-programmers) for specific needs still has a very large (and rapidly growing) place.

After slashing its IPO price by nearly $30 Wednesday, GOOG pulled its last trick by jumping back up to over $100, and closing the week at more than $108 per share. What's good for the GOOG, however, could be bad for the rest of the tech market, as tech stocks — which have already taken a beating this year — are less likely to post any serious gains, especially while Wall Street’s attention is fixated on Google. With the new iMac set to be unveiled in about a week, it’ll be interesting to see how investors react. Whether GOOG is a bubble that's about to burst or end up holding its gains, it'll likely attract much of the tech attention for weeks to come. Apple had better have a trick up its sleeve, or else the iMac could slip right under the investors' radar.

Brin and Templeton

Brin and Templeton 04/28/2004 11:31 AM
EWeek: Google's Brin Talks on Gmail Future The most interesting thing is that Google co-founder Sergey Brin knows Brad Templeton, an outspoken advocate of encrypted email, and they're discussing what to do. Sergey also says they plan to make Gmail public to everyone within three-to-six months, and an encrypted backend probably won't make it in by then. Templeton: The Gmail Saga. A good discussion of some privacy problems and solutions, but notice that Brad and the EFF haven't signed the anti-ads letter. I agree that the most important thing Google could do is encryption, and there are some simple steps that Google can take within their existing framework. First, they should immediately move everything to SSL. When I was at a conference last week, anyone could read my Gmail email, and with a little extra work, perhaps modify my account and things. With SSL, everything would be protected and encrypted. Second, they should use public-key encryption. (This part will be a bit technical.) When you create a Gmail account, your computer creates a keypair. The public key is sent to Google. The private key is encrypted with a password you choose, and the encrypted version is sent to Google. (Important: Google never gets your password.) When an email is received for your account, the server encrypts it with your public key before saving it. When you log into read it, you download your encrypted key, decrypt it with your password, and then your computer decrypts your mail with the resulting key as it's downloaded. (Already, all your mail goes through Gmail's JavaScript client to get processed and turned into HTML, so this won't be too hard to add on the client-side.) In this way, your mail is never stored in a way Google has access to. Third, they should investigate encrypting the indexes in a similar manner. If that's not possible or practical, they should do it the way Brad suggests (store them encrypted with a password sent to Google when you log in and deleted when you log out)....

Privacy advocates have often discussed Google allows your past to haunt you. Any careless mistake or childish prank is preserved on the Internet, forever, available for anyone curious enough to do a Google search. Well, the problem has really hit home -- so to speak -- for Google's own founder, Sergey Brin, whose college website once included a photo of him in drag. It's tempting to laugh about how this will completely derail Google's IPO, and joke about how good Sergey looks in a Speedo, but I think we as a society need to move beyond our embarrassment, and admit that all founders of major companies did some pretty silly things in college -- the only difference is that Sergey was dumb enough to put them on the Web for all eternity. Thanks to alterego for the tip about the pictures....
