Has your organization(s) undertaken open source software
development projects? If so, please describe the project, how it was
executed, and the current state of this software as well as any
experience with managing community contributions.
COS develops exclusively
open public goods tools and services. All existing and future COS-developed software is openly licensed for permissive use. Across projects approximately 200 developers have contributed code. For example
http://osf.io/ has had
123 contributors and
SHARE has had 31 contributors. COS facilitates community contributions with hack-a-thons informal development sessions on-site visits and small grants to developer teams to connect services to the framework.
