The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.
The Free/Open Source Software workshop wrapped up today. Discussion focused on a number of topics, including:
– Translation into other domains of software
– Software engineering practice
– Collaboration issues in FOSS
– Learning and education challenges/opportunities
– Evolution of products, projects, practices and processes
– Research infrastructures
A report from the workshop will be developed in the coming weeks and posted on the CCC Web site.

The CCC’s official podcast, “Catalyzing Computing,” features interviews with researchers and policy makers about their background and experiences in the computing community.
