Track: Software Technology
Minitrack: New Application Areas in Open Source Software: Use,
                   Development and Evaluation

Open Source Software is booming. Thousands of software project administrators face challenges in coordinating technical development of OSS, and developers and users face challenges in evaluating the myriad of OSS projects. This mini-track will explore issues in open source software development. Topics of interest include: New kinds of open source software for Linux and other platforms, applications of open source software in education, methods for simplifying the development, maintenance, and multi-platform portability in OSS, evaluation and comparison of the technical characteristics and accessibility of different open source projects. Of interest are also issues relating to differences among different Linux distributions and Unix derivatives.
