Open-Source software development moved into the focus of common interest a couple of years ago. By now, software engineers have learned a lot about the dos and don'ts which often proves useful even for industrial software development projects. And as the open-source concepts of mutual benefit are more and more understood by industrial developers as well as executives, new ways of successfully using, enhancing and creating Open-Source Software (OSS) are discovered. In this workshop, we were seeking position papers that help understanding the essential building blocks of industrial Open-Source Strategies. Topics were envisioned to include, but not be limited to: * all aspects of software processes (successful or not) * software development environments and tool kits * business models (e.g. for the roll-out of existing software as open-source) * technical infrastructure (e.g. portals) * strategies * social and organizational structures * license models and legal aspects * success stories and case studies The workshop was held at OOSPLA 2003, Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, 2003.     «
