%0 Conference Paper %B OSS2005: Open Source Systems %D 2005 %T Using Open Source Tools to Support Collaboration Within CALIBRE %A Adams, Paul %A Nutter, David %A Rank, Stephen %A Boldyreff, Cornelia %X This paper describes the deployment of Plone, an Open-Source content management system, to support the activities of CALIBRE, an EU-funded coordination action integrating research into Libre software. The criteria by which Plone was selected are described, and the goodness of fit to these criteria is analysed. As a coordination action, CALIBRE involves 12 partners with different requirements and characteristics. The CALIBRE Working Environment (CWE) must therefore support a variety of users with different levels of technical expertise and expectations. Implementation of the support infrastructure for CALIBRE is ongoing, and has provided some interesting insights into the benefits of the use of libre software. Although Plone has not been explicitly developed as a collaboration infrastructure, with its wealth of plugins, it has proven highly adaptable for this purpose. %B OSS2005: Open Source Systems %P 61-65 %U http://pascal.case.unibz.it/handle/2038/1555 %0 Conference Paper %B OSS2005: Open Source Systems %D 2005 %T Using Plone To Support Collaborative Research %A Adams, Paul %A Nutter, David %A Rank, Stephen %A Boldyreff, Cornelia %K collaboration environment %K collaborative research %K content management system %K open source %K plugin %B OSS2005: Open Source Systems %P 296-297 %U http://pascal.case.unibz.it/handle/2038/1558 %0 Conference Proceedings %B Proceedings of the 4th ICSE Workshop on Open Source %D 2004 %T Communication and Conflict Issues in Collaborative Software Research Projects %A Boldyreff, Cornelia %A Nutter, David %A Rank, Stephen %K artefact %K cvs %K genesis %K oscar %X The Open Source Component Artefact Repository (OSCAR) was developed under the auspices of the GENESIS project to store data produced during the software development process. Significant problems were encountered during the course of the project in both the development itself and management of the project. The reasons for and potential solutions to these problems are examined with the intention of developing a set of guidelines to enable participants in other collaborative projects to avoid these pitfalls. We wish to make it clear that we attach no opprobrium to any of the participants in the GENESIS project as many of the issues we outline below have solutions only visible with hindsight. Instead, we seek to provide a fair-minded critique of our role and the mistakes we made in a fairly typical two-year EU research project, and to provide a set of recommendations for other similar projects, in order that they can (attempt to) avoid suffering similarly. %B Proceedings of the 4th ICSE Workshop on Open Source %P 14-17 %> https://flosshub.org/sites/flosshub.org/files/boldyreff15-18.pdf %0 Conference Proceedings %B Proceedings of the 3rd ICSE Workshop on Open Source %D 2003 %T Open-Source Development Processes and Tools %A Boldyreff, Cornelia %A Lavery, J. %A Nutter, David %A Rank, Stephen %B Proceedings of the 3rd ICSE Workshop on Open Source %P 15-18 %> https://flosshub.org/sites/flosshub.org/files/15-18.pdf %0 Conference Paper %B 2nd Workshop on Open Source Software Engineering at ICSE 2002 %D 2002 %T Open-Source Artefact Management %A Boldyreff, Cornelia %A Nutter, David %A Rank, Stephen %K artefacts %K artifacts %K genesis %K oscar %K workflow %X This paper presents the GENESIS project, which aims to develop an open-source, lightweight, process-aware (and process-neutral) workflow management system. In particular OSCAR, the artefact repository is discussed. The requirements of a system for artefact management and storage are described, and the concept of active artefacts is explained. The software engineering methods which will be used in the project are described, and some examples of the open-source tools which may be used are described. %B 2nd Workshop on Open Source Software Engineering at ICSE 2002 %> https://flosshub.org/sites/flosshub.org/files/BoldyreffNutterRank.pdf
