Everything from notes and thoughts, to summaries of talks, papers and reports. Some in English, some in Swedish pending the context :)

Building Sovereignty the Open Way

17 minute read

The world is turning in a strange way these days. Tariffs and sanctions are increasingly used to pressure and push agendas onto others. Digital sovereignty has, accordingly, singled up to a more general discourse and top of people’s minds. Sense of urgency is now moving beyond data sovereignty (and whether the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework gives any comfort or not) to the broader questi...

Public Sector Open Source Projects – How is development organized?

12 minute read

While the practice and process for Open Source Software (OSS) development is quite explored in industry and general community contexts, less is known about how development is done on OSS in the public sector context, specifically those developed and governed by Public Sector Organizations (PSOs). To shed light on this, we looked at six mature examples of public sector OSS projects, identified b...

Health Check-ups on OSS Software Projects: Managing Risks while Promoting (Re)use

7 minute read

Getting an overview of Open Source Software (OSS) intake (including upstream dependencies) is a challenge as consumption is ever-growing. Each OSS component comes with a risk in terms of its ability to stay maintained long-term, with high quality and without interruption. Analyzing and monitoring the health of OSS intake can enable proactive management of potential risks, but it is also a mount...

Paper: Sustaining Availability of the Maintenance Labor with Human Infrastructure Key for Healthy Open Source Software Projects

11 minute read

We (Me, Georg Link, and Kevin Lumbard) explore how the health and sustainability of Open Source Software projects depends on the human activity invested by project maintainers and contributors. The activity invested is labeled Maintenance Labor and can, accordingly, originate from either the maintainers (Maintainer Labor) or the contributors (Contributor Labor). The latter includes the full spe...

Research on Experimentation in Game Development: Want to contribute?

1 minute read

As part of WASP-funded research project, we are investigating how game companies experiment with and evaluate new ideas, features, and changes throughout the development process. The goal is to be able to reject or accept any assumption about an idea as early as possible based on the experiment, for example, based on the technical and commercial viability among (potential) users. Earlier feedba...
