DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Carlos Maltzahn (UC Santa Cruz)\nOpen source plays a
 n increasingly important role in society. Almost 90 companies (many of the
 m Fortune 100) have now dedicated open source program offices (OSPOs) resp
 onsible for the implementation of the company’s open source strategy. In
 dustry is placing a high value on organizations who know how to leverage o
 pen source\, as for example IBM’s acquisition of RedHat for $34 billion 
 indicates. Yet universities are just beginning to work on formalizing thei
 r relationship to open source communities and are discovering open source 
 as an important alternative to traditional tech transfer. The Alfred P. Sl
 oan Foundation in their mission to reduce barriers in the research enterpr
 ise is funding the establishment of OSPOs at six universities\, including 
 Johns Hopkins\, RIT\, UC Santa Cruz\, Vermont\, CMU\, and SLU. The US Nati
 onal Science Foundation recently created the new Directorate for Technolog
 y\, Innovation\, and Partnerships (TIP) to accelerate development and depl
 oyment of new technologies. TIP programs are now funding efforts to create
  the support infrastructure around open source research products so they c
 an mature into sustainable open source ecosystems.\n\nIn this talk I will 
 make the case why universities should pay attention to open source and rev
 iew some of the opportunities created by establishing an OSPO. I will outl
 ine the main lessons from founding and running the Center for Research in 
 Open Source Software (CROSS) since 2015 and the new programs I am implemen
 ting as part of the OSPO UC Santa Cruz with funding by the Alfred P. Sloan
  Foundation and the NSF\, to accelerate reproducible research delivery wit
 h open source strategies and techniques. As case study I will give an over
 view of the Skyhook Data Management project that embeds relational data pr
 ocessing in the Ceph distributed storage system\, with ongoing work to do 
 the same for Argonne National Lab’s Mochi exascale storage services ecos
 ystem and Sandia National Lab’s FAODEL data exchange libraries.\n\nhttps
