Open Source Reflexion
We have organized three big meetings during this summer. During each meeting we have choosen two problematics that one or two members of our team had to present. Among these problematics we have chosen : what is opensource ? what are the rules that govern the opensource ? what is the influence of the open source in our economy ? ... After each presentation we have made a debate, and we have tried to hightlight the important points of each problematics, what we learned and what are the futur questions we can ask.
First meeting : 25/06/2013
People there: Caroline, Anais, Eric, Nima, Zouh, Gabriel et Nadia
This meeting was a first contact with the concept of the Open Source applied for synthetic biology and with the impact of the open source in our economy.
First, Anais and Gabriel made a global presentation of the Open Source, what is it, how it works.(paper)
Thanks to this presentation, we have learned about the difference between free software and Open Source, and about the conditions of OSI. These definitions gave us the basis to raise some questions :
- What comparisons can we make beetween the software's world (and its concept of OpenSource) and synthetic biology's world that tries to apply the Open Source.
- Between free software and open source, towards what way synbiology heads ?
- What is the impact or the role of the community on the type of model adopted ?
- The researches in synbiology and biotechnologies are they adapted to the Open source (and vis versa) ?
Second, Eric made a presentation of the state of bioeconomy today (power point)
Thanks to this presentation, we have learned about the Moore's laws and the impact of the open source on brevets and firms. We raised some questions about this impact : - Can brevets and OpenSource exist together without killing the monomoly of big firms ? -
02/07/2013
People there: Caroline, Anais, Eric, Nima, Zouh, Gabriel, Damir
Zouh made a presentation about the rules of the open source and the different kind of free software in computer science. (Paper)
Damir made a presentation about the development and the democratization of science thanks to the
open source (PowerPoint)
Thanks to this presentation we have better understood the extent and the impact of open source (in science) in our society. It led us to think about the riscks of open source in science and bioterrorism in synthetic biology.
09/07/13
People there : Caroline, Anais, Eric, Zouh, Damir
Eric made a presentation about the bioterrorism (powerpoint)
Thanks to this presentation, we notticed the fact that the origin of bioterrorism is varied, it could be a sect, a party, one person or a entiere group.
