Webinar #21: Co-design as a means for the growth of open source software
Presenter: Greg Austic, Co-Founder Our Sci, LLC
November 18th, 2024
01:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada)
via Zoom (link provided upon registration)
This presentation will discuss how Our Sci, as part of their NAPDC award, have been working with a group of organizations to complete a needs assessment and gap analysis on behalf of farmers for program applications, benchmarking, planning, and other purposes. The presentation will focus on key questions, including:
Can we use small groups of similar users to co-develop and co-fund open source software in ag?
How do you engage these groups, what are effective processes to formulate common needs and provide solution options, how do you maintain communications without overcommunicating?
What are the pitfalls and potential for this strategy, and could it be a useful method for long-term sustainability of open source software in agriculture?
