4 Perspective Sourcing decisions are not new… s BuildBuild or Buy Build, Buy, or “Borrow” 2010 Risks Benefits

5 In Search of a Better Model… Creating Software Sustaining Software Community Source Projects Partnering Organizations Stakeholder Coordination Open IP Licensing Fees Maintenance Fees Commercial Coordination Closed IP Objective…sustainable economics and innovation for satisfied users …for how we pay and what we get. Software is not free. Bundled IP & Support Unbundled IP & Support + Commercial Support Options Educational Community License

6 Control of Code & Destiny But with responsibility too! PKI Dartmouth Chandler/Westwood Twin Peaks Navigator Functionality of Systems integration, standards…innovation Cost of Systems operations, maintenance, timing, evolution

7 Michigan, Indiana Independent decisions for community source engagement

8 Why UM went down the Sakai path Legacy system with no positive trajectory forward Saw market consolidation in CMS Saw the potential of tapping core competence and starting a virtuous cycle of development/teaching/research Strategic desire to blur the distinction between the laboratory/classroom between knowledge creation/digestion NRC report and the need for collaboration A moment in time opportunity (Mellon and synchronization) Leverage links between open source, open access and culture of the academy/wider world

9 What goals did we set? Replicate functionality of legacy CMS and Worktools Find collaborating partners (Sakai is at least as interesting from the collaboration experiment perspective as it is from the technology perspective.) Get better at discerning open source winners. It shouldn’t be like playing the lottery. Evolve a business plan that would be sustainable Implement parts that were not built at UM

10 What have we learned? Collaborations are hard work and they require shared vision (when visions vary, or when they change, collaborations struggle). Projects like Sakai need to be entered into in a fully intentional way. –Separate board with dedicated developers. –Sakai sits between institutions with a clear governance structure. Open source requires real project discipline. Sakai is as spontaneous as a shuttle launch. Learn to balance pragmatics and ideals and trust your partners.

11 What have we learned? Hard to test for scale Importance of alignment/support from Provost/President It’s good to be public. Our success or failure will be spectacularly public There are 89K open source projects in the naked city. Our focus, and potential sweet spot for collaborative action, is open source at the enterprise level. Think Linux on servers versus desktops; Apache versus Mozilla; and Sakai versus classroom specific applications. Zeitgeist is critical. Important to link with repository efforts, open access push, and scholarly publishing opportunities if we are to keep academic commons/culture open.

12 Sakai, OSPI, Kuali Lessons Collaboration is a capability Organizational readiness, learning Value for the future Choose your partners well Like-minded institutions, timelines Sakai structure is promising Small core development team Large partners organization

13 “Community source describes a model for the purposeful coordinating of work in a community. It is based on many of the principles of open source development efforts, but community source efforts rely more explicitly on defined roles, responsibilities, and funded commitments by community members than some open source development models.” …. from Community Source Projects “Institutional Investments for Institutional Outcomes”

14 What’s Next More leverage between community source projects Improving commercial support options Lots of tools and extensions The model used for Sakai is broadly applicable The Partner’s Program grows
