Is anyone interested in #OpenSource research papers and notable books/journals?

Last year I worked on FOSS strategy for @CSIRO, and was actively researching a book about the future of open source. Now I've got time (e.g. pandemic stand down) I'm thinking of sharing all that.

Next week will be "open source week", where I'll go through my research notes and work out how best to share this in a useful way.

Aside from the book and the CSIRO work, I was also writing papers on FOSS for my MBA. I've collected/read literal 1000s of papers and books.

My particular research was (and still is) in two areas:

- open source methodology as applied outside of just software (e.g. open organisations, community mgmt)
- strategies for enterprise and business to use, create, contribute to #OSS

This week I will also ship the first iteration of the topic I tabled at @SustainOSS: a guide/template for OSS projects to better articulate pitch/problem. Basically... like we do as product founders.

Inspired by @catallman, @joshsimmons & @piamancini, I'll finally get this out.

The pandemic sunk my 2020 in terms of work, but I've got some headroom to handle it. My background is enterprise OSS and then VC-backed product founder, then OSS researcher. I'll be posting as I publish/iterate but let me know if any topic might specifically useful to your work.

Also keen to speak with other #opensource researchers. Especially those focusing outside traditional/purist lens of OSS.

E.g. how can we share what we know about ways of working with those who can benefit from it?

This may be more important for the world now than ever before.
