Open source is eating the world and academic institutions cannot escape from that. With several American universities joining the ever growing list of institutions explicitly promoting open source through offices dedicated to fostering Open Work, we will share some initial experiences, lessons learned, and some insights into where we think open source in academia is headed. In this short talk, we will tell a story about how “Open” in academia goes far beyond source code, and the way faculty create, distribute, and collaborate on their work varies greatly. This talk will only cover the tip of the iceberg of Open Work in academia but will provide attendees an introduction to this great world that we are discovering ourselves.
