Research Positions for CCC’s 2010 Future of Open Source Research Workshop

I will be participating in the Computing Community Consortium’s workshop on the future of open source research at UC Irvine next month. The organizers asked participants to provide a short opinion on three research areas they feel warrant further research. I chose the following three general topics:

1. Quantitative Analyses of Actual Programmer Behavior
2. Improved Open Source Process and Tooling
3. Decision Models for Industry Participation in Community Open Source

You can find the full descriptions of these topics over at the website of the open source research group. For your convenience, I’ve also appended it as a PDF file.
