Imagining the Internet: Personalities, Predictions, Perspectives
Within the early Nineties, humans anticipated the demise of privateness, an finish to the present idea of "property," a paperless society, 500 channels of high-definition interactive tv, global peace, and the extinction of the human race after a takeover engineered via clever machines. Imagining the net zeroes in on predictions concerning the Internet's destiny and revisits previous predictions--and how they became out--to positioned that imagined destiny in point of view.

The list can be pretty long. The study of generational relay (or developer turnover) in FLOSS projects is still an emerging area of study that needs further research to improve our understanding of these situations. In spite of this, some researchers have already collected objective evidence that sheds some light on these processes. In OSS 2006, my colleagues Jesus G. Barahona and Gregorio Robles presented a work entitled “Contributor Turnover in Libre Software Projects”. In this work, they show a methodology to identify the most active developers (usually known as core contributors) in different time intervals, over the whole history of a given project.
University and Community K´evin Ottens K´evin Ottens is a long term hacker of the KDE community. He contributed to the KDE Platform at large, with a strong emphasis on API design and frameworks architecture. Graduating in 2007, he holds a PhD in computer science which led him to work particularly on ontologies engineering and multi-agent systems. K´evin’s job at KDAB includes developing research projects around KDE technologies. He still lives in Toulouse where he serves as part time teacher in his former university.
In this sense, the main difference between an influential OSS project and a perpetual research prototype is not so much the amount of work but the type of work that is required to succeed. Understanding this is part of the success – the only other thing that is needed is an awesome piece of software. 4.
