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?
