The workshop is organised by the CALIBRE research team:
CALIBRE (Co-ordination Action for Libre Software Engineering of Open Development Platforms for Software and Services) is an EU FP6 project. The CALIBRE consortium is led by the University of Limerick, Ireland, with the University of Skövde as one of 11 partners across Europe joined by an industry partner in China.
CALIBRE goals:
CALIBRE aims to coordinate the study of the characteristics of libre/open source software projects, products and processes; distributed development; and agile methods.
The key goals of CALIBRE are:
- to integrate and coordinate libre software research and practice to ensure that the open source phenomenon flourishes and delivers to its true potential, especially for the European “secondary” software sector (automotive, telco etc) where Europe has particular strengths;
- to foster the effective transfer of the many useful lessons from open source software to facilitate the next generation of software engineering methods and tools;
- to establish a European industry open source software research policy forum CALIBRATION
.
