View source for OPEN! Methods and tools for community-based product development



The French-German research project "OPEN! Methods and tools for community-based product development" aimed at:
* '''understanding''' open source product development, showing concrete evidence of this emerging practice and delivering detailed description of the phenomenon;
* '''modelling''' the open source product development process as an alternative to well-anchored industrial product development processes;
* '''providing''' concrete process support in the form of methods and IT-tools. It will particularly be focused on the concept of a open design platform.

The project lasted from March 2016 to September 2019 and was co-financed by the German and the French national research foundations [http://www.dfg.de/en/index.jsp/  DFG] and [http://www.agence-nationale-recherche.fr/en/project-based-funding-to-advance-french-research/ ANR].

The follow-on project OPEN!NEXT (see under https://opennext.eu/) will continue the work done in OPEN!. Until further notice here '''this page will remain active'''.

== Upcoming event ==

'''First International workshop on Open Design and Open Source Hardware Product Development'''
* ''5-6 March 2020 Grenoble (France)'' "[https://open-design.sciencesconf.org/ LINK]"

== Contents of the wiki ==
All along the project, we will use this wiki to share results and data with the open source hardware community. 
Check for example the following pages:
* The page "[[A guide to Open Source Hardware]]" summarizes the best practices of product-related data sharing we have observed so far
* The page "[[List of open source hardware products]]" database that provides a large collection of products released under open source licences
* The page "[[Open-O-meter]]" defines a scale for measuring the "openness" of open source hardware
* The page "[[Who is behind open source hardware?]]" presents archetypal representations of participants in open source product development projects
* A [[:Category:Glossary|Glossary]] of terms used in the project
* Our invitation page for the "[[Open Source Hardware Collaboration Survey - how people work together to design open source products]]" (results will follow here in due course)

== Research programme ==

The aim of the project is to characterize current practices of ''open source product development'' in order to develop concrete ''guidance'' to support design process efficiency of open source product development projects. It focuses particularly on:
* the organizational and business environment of open design projects: What business models can be built based on open design? What are the motivational drivers of project contributors and what are the different roles they may play? How is governance implemented? Through what regulation mechanisms are decisions taken?
* the open source product development process: What can ensure an efficient distribution of design tasks in a loosely-coupled organization? What validation mechanisms ensure the approval or rejection of individuals` contributions? How to ensure that contributions converge and let emerge a sufficiently designed product?
* the supporting information systems: What structure of product data information is adapted to a decentralized organization of design tasks? What capabilities should offer an online collaborative design platform to support the efficient collaboration of distant designers? What is the typology of information and intermediary objects to be stored and edited online to ensure building a common understanding between project contributors?
