Dear all,
I have now checked all Units together in order to find the spots that
require improvement. I have then customised the relevant Units and lessons,
so that a common structure and naming (titles and sub-titles) is secured
according to your feedback after your tests.
There are some final improvements required. Here is a list of the missing
things:
- Bibliography relevant for Unit 2, 3 and 5. Check the example of Unit
1.
- Introductory text for each Unit: In Unit 2,3,4 and 5 you need to
adjust your text in order to explain what the participant will learn in
each lesson. Check the example of Unit 1.
- Summary part is missing in Lesson 2.1, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4. Check the
example of Lesson 1.1.
- Sources part is missing in Lesson 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 5.1, 5.2,
5.3, 5.4. Check the example of Lesson 1.1.
- In Lesson 3.4.: In Part 1 and Part 3 the title is missing. Check the
example of Lesson 3.1.
Please make the required updates *by 31.05. the latest*.
Thank you all in advance for your support. I am happy that we are almost
done with the content import and that by the end of May we will have a good
looking and consistent English course.
Best,
Katerina

Subject: OpenSym 2019 review response (submission [*NUMBER*])
To: Katerina Tsinari <tsinari(a)abe.gr>
Dear Katerina,
Thank you for your submission to OpenSym 2019. The OpenSym 2019
review response period will end June 6th (AoE). This is a hard
deadline.
During this time, you will have access to the current state of
your reviews and have the opportunity to submit a response of
*up to 750 words*. Please keep in mind the following during this
process:
* The response must focus on any factual errors in the reviews
and any questions posed by the reviewers. It must not provide
new research results or reformulate the presentation. Try to be
as concise and to the point as possible.
* The review response period is an opportunity to react to the
reviews, but not a requirement to do so. Thus, if you feel the
reviews are accurate and the reviewers have not asked any
questions, then you do not have to respond.
* The reviews are as submitted by the PC members, without any
coordination between them. Thus, there may be inconsistencies.
Furthermore, these are not the final versions of the reviews.
The reviews can later be updated to take into account the
discussions at the program committee meeting, and we may find
it necessary to solicit other outside reviews after the review
response period.
* The program committee will read your responses carefully and
take this information into account during the discussions. On
the other hand, the program committee will not directly respond
to your responses, either before the program committee meeting
or in the final versions of the reviews.
* Your response will be seen by all PC members who have access
to the discussion of your paper, so please try to be polite and
constructive.
The reviews on your paper are attached to this letter. To
submit your response you should log on the EasyChair Web page
for OpenSym 2019 and select your submission on the menu.

SUBMISSION: 5
TITLE: Free and Open Source Software for European SMEs in the frame of EU
funded research
AUTHORS: Katerina Tsinari
----------- Overall evaluation -----------
SCORE: 2 (accept)
----- TEXT:
First of all, thank you for the opportunity to review this paper whose
purpose is to identify opportunities to foster the use of Free and Open
Source Software (FOSS) by European Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The
authors state that this study is relevant because there is a lack of
research on the topic and a new European initiative requires this
information. The main contribution of the paper is the development of the
conceptual and curricular structure of the training course to adopt FOSS by
European SMEs. The narrative goes smooth and the context is well conveyed.
Finally, the motivation of the research is explained with a real-life case.
The paper is focused on the development of an instrument rather than test a
formal theory. Consequently, there is not a theoretical contribution to
evaluate. Nevertheless, during the second paragraph of the Introduction,
the study claims that there is a lack of information about the topic. This
is hard to believe first because FOSS is not a new topic. Second, because
the authors do not explain the process to research previous literature or
similar cases. It may be argued that the lack of information responds to
the new initiative from the European government, still, it is possible that
other countries could have similar initiatives. Consequently, it is
important the description of the literature review.
In terms of methodology, the biggest threat is the fact that around 120
representatives were asked in 6 different countries. If divided, that means
that it was about 20 representatives per country which is a very small
sample for any inference. Furthermore, the instrument was translated into
four different languages. Nonetheless, the author does not report the
execution of pilot test to evaluate the instruments. Neither whether the
respondents answered the instrument in their first or second language. The
author does not explain the process to validate the translation of the
questionnaires. For example, The instrument was developed in language A,
then a native speaker of language B translate it to language B. Next, a
native speaker of language A translates the instrument B back to language
A. Finally, both instruments in language A were compared to evaluate the
similarities.
In general terms, the paper is good. Nevertheless, the above-mentioned
points must either be explained throughout the document or discussed in a
section "Limitations of the paper". A diagram of a) the literature review,
b) the methodology, and c) the definition of the curriculum will enhance
the value and narrative of the paper. Finally, I suggest the paper:
Peffers, K., Tuunanen, T., Rothenberger, M. A. & Chatterjee, S. (2007) A
Design Science Research Methodology for Information Systems Research. This
paper provides a formal methodology for developing artefacts such as your
instrument. This may enhance the description of the method conducted.
Hope this helps.

SUBMISSION: 5
TITLE: Free and Open Source Software for European SMEs in the frame of EU
funded research
AUTHORS: Katerina Tsinari
----------- Overall evaluation -----------
SCORE: 2 (accept)
----- TEXT:
This paper (poster) presents an EU project called FOSS4SMEs that will
develop a training toolkit for SMEs wishing to adopt FOSS. The toolkit
comprises 5 units that will be offered as an Open Educational Resource. The
outcomes of this research will fill an educational and training gap that
has been identified, which is the lack of knowledge about FOSS that exists
in European SMEs and this lack of knowledge they don’t know how FOSS can be
used to improve their competitiveness.
I would suggest that the following 8 points are addressed in order to
clarify and strengthen the contribution of this paper:
1. Define acronym VET when it is first used.
2. In the Introduction, I would say that the following statement is not
broadly true: “Concerning the use of FOSS by European SMEs there are no
existing studies, researches or surveys available, focused specifically on
this matter, nor transnational studies on the motivations and barriers on
the uptake of FOSS within businesses." Perhaps it is true that the
educational/European focus is limited but not that barriers, motivations
and adoption have not been studied - see e.g. Stefanou, C. J. (2014).
Adoption of free/open source ERP software by SMEs. In Information Systems
for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (pp. 157-166). Springer, Berlin,
Heidelberg.
And in the UK context: D Macredie, R., & Mijinyawa, K. (2011). A
theory-grounded framework of Open Source Software adoption in SMEs.
European Journal of Information Systems, 20(2), 237-250.
3. Are there different education requirements when considering different
application areas (.e.g operating systems, ERP systems, productivity
suites, etc.) or when considering the type of business/business model, or
type of organisational structure? Does the project anticipate any? Clearly
a SME interested in implementing server technology would not receive the
same training as a SME that only requires OpenOffice.
4. How has existing work on FOSS adoption by SME informed the research?
What about existing theories or frameworks of ICT adoption (e.g. Theory of
Reasoned Action (TRA), the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), or the
Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)?
5. Point 2 page 3: “However, this concept seemed to be still somewhat
misleading, as some of them wouldn’t be able to tell FOSS apart from
proprietary software.” In what way can they not tell the difference? Is it
that they don’t know whether the software is FOSS or that they don’t know
the meaning behind the concept of FOSS?
6. Is the ECVET curriculum future work or does it exist already?
7. What is meant with “the non-formal training course”? Is this the ECVET
curriculum or something else?
----------------------- REVIEW 3 ---------------------
SUBMISSION: 5
TITLE: Free and Open Source Software for European SMEs in the frame of EU

AUTHORS: Katerina Tsinari
----------- Overall evaluation -----------
SCORE: 0 (borderline paper)
----- TEXT:
This poster submission describes an EU funded project for developing online
training materials for small and medium sized businesses to learn about
using open source.
The project is noteworthy. Commercial open source is fast evolving. More
and more companies are engaging in open source projects, which research has
shown to change the nature of open source projects. Updated EU-oriented
training materials would be helpful to supplement the work in the Linux
Foundation and OpenChain project, which lack the European focus.
A strong point of the paper are the presentation of preliminary findings
regarding the need and demand for such training.
A major issue with this submission is the lack of academic references. The
claim that no research relating to the matter of open source adoption in
companies exists is not true. The business case of open source has been
discussed in literature for two decades now. I can recommend the works of
Joseph Feller, Brian Fitzgerald, Linus Dahlander, and Matt Germonprez.
I suggest also providing a link to the project website. Googling it is easy
enough, but the archived paper may outlive the website.
I would have liked to see references to the "six national reports" (p. 3).
My overall evaluation borderline because the paper is overall well written
and adds to the conversation of open collaboration, but the paper
misrepresents existing literature on the subject.

Dear Brian,
Thanks for preparing and presenting the self-diagnostic tool for the
course. My impression is that you have chosen an efficient approach. I
only have two suggestions for consideration:
1. As currently suggested, there is the need for a great number of
assessments of the learner. Maybe it would be better to abstract the
different level assessments on a unit level?
2. This might be incorrect, but it seems there is no functionality
foreseen through the moodle to do the assessment, but it's the learner
who decides. I would suggest to consider a multiple choice system where
the system provides the correct path for the learner. Considering the
very simple methodology and mentions that such modules are readily
available for moodle, maybe this could be implemented very efficiently.
Best,
Sivan

Dear All,
we would like to inform you that we as DLEARN have a deal with the organisation GLOBAL GO NET <http://www.global-go.net/> www.global-go.net to have a priority (but still we may get none) when they will assign recent graduates for a period of apprenticeship funded and fully paid by the Basque government.
All we need to do now is to fill in our “expression of interest” by filling the 2 docs attached and by following the simple rules highlighted below. To make the process easier, please once ready (if you are interested in the program) send me the docs filled in.
DEADLINE FOR SENDING THE DOCS: 03.06.2019
1. The internship can be related to any kind of profile,addressed to university and high vocational training graduates.
2. The Global Training program consists in an international internship in a company/organization providing graduated people under 30 years with an opportunity to work and support their professional development in a country different from their own
3. Each selected intern receives a monthly stipend of 1,400 € during these 6 months for accommodation and travel from the Basque Government.
4. The traineeships are planned to begin from the 1st of November 2019 onwards.
5. The funding also pays for the interns´ health insurance and third party liability and for their social security.
Attached:
* The Application Form. Please try to describe the offer in an attractive and detailed way since this is key to attract the best candidates.
* The Pre Agreement document. Hosting companies are encouraged to show their willingness to extend the traineeship if the trainee performs satisfactorily. We would like to remind you that ticking the box in the attached document does not oblige companies to retain the trainee but is rather a statement of intent. You don´t need to especify the amount of money. We understand that the necessity of the company can change during this period. After the first 4-5 months of the placement, companies will openly evaluate if they are willing to extend the internship or not. But please tick the 6 month extension box since it gives our offers a better puntuation when present the offers to the Basque Government.
* The documents need to be signed and stamped.
We are at your disposal for any further clarification where needed.
Thank you!
Best,

Dear Brian,
thank you for our discussion in yesterdays telco on the "Training Plan". I
found some tipps I have given you in a previous e-mail (from the 5th of
March). I copy paste it here as a reminder to you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*I copy paste here my notes from the Dublin Meeting as a reminder for both
of us:*
*Training Plan: *
- *Welcome section for learners: overview of what FOSS is and who the
target audience is, description of the learning platform and the scope of
the course *
- *guidelines to the learner on how the training course is structured:
general format expected for each section, expected timeline and major
components covered. I would add here the technical requirements in order to
attend the course.*
- *The pre-course survey (self-diagnostic tool): assess learner’s
current level of knowledge and suggest a suitable learning path (online
questionnaire with prepared statements)*
- *The after-course self-diagnostic tool (skills gap analysis): assess
learner’s current level of knowledge to identify changes à to be compared
with results of the pilot test *
- *Final participant Evaluation form for the course*
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope this helps and I still think that this agreed plan from the Dublin
Meeting is what we need from TUD to develop. The example course I forwarded
you confidentially can be used as an example.
I will check now how we can import in Moodle the " *pre-course survey
(self-diagnostic tool)* " you prepared.
Best,
Katerina

Hi all,
Some information on the transnational meeting and multiplier event in
Brussels.
The draft schedule is as follows, slight changes possible. You will
receive calendar invites shortly. A more detailed agenda will follow at
a later point:
24 September, 13:00 - 19:00: Transnational meeting (Room Louise I,
Clifford Chance, Avenue Louise 65, 1050 Bruxelles)
24 September, 20:00 - open: Dinner (tbd)
25 September, 09:00 - 13:00: Transnational meeting (Room Louise I,
Clifford Chance, Avenue Louise 65, 1050 Bruxelles)
25 September, 15:30 - 17:30: Multiplier event on Policy Recommendation
Report, please register here (L42 business center & workspaces, Rue de
la Loi 42, 1040 Bruxelles)
Disappointingly, there seems to be a big event happening in Brussels on
the dates we have chosen, as such hotels are very expensive and often
already fully booked. We considered moving the event, but as some have
already booked their flights, we will stick with the original date. The
hotels we usually recommend are all booked or extremely expensive
(€600+ per night), so my recommendations are purely based on online
searching. We recommend booking as soon as possible. Also maybe
consider AirBnB and similar services.
Hotel Retro: Chausee de Haecht 3, Sint-Joost-ten-Node. Close to north
station where trains from the airport arrive, close to metro reaching
all venues. Currently still very reasonably priced and well reviewed,
but the area is not so nice.
Izan Avenue Louse: Rue Blanche 4, Ixelles. Close to the venue of the
transnational meeting in a nice area, but less direct connection to
metro, airport and multiplier event venue. Currently still reasonably
priced and reviews are good.
Zoom Hotel: Rue de la Concorde 59-61, Ixelles. Directly at venue of
transnational meeting with a good connection to metro to reach the
train station to the airport and the venue of the multiplier event.
Price is higher, very well reviewed.
Please reach out if you have any questions regarding this or on the
locations. You can enter your travel details in a file on keybase here:

Dear all,
I would like to update you on our status today.
*Timesheets and Certificates of participation – Dublin Meet.:* Pending from
TUD.
*Final multiplier event in Brussels: * Please remember to make your travel
arrangements for Brussels. Dear Sivan, can you please create a table where
we can insert our travel information? Can you please suggest nearby hotels
for us? Thank you! Concerning the Agenda of the event, please remember to
discuss this with Francesco and me, as he is developing some of the impact
tools, that need to be used during this event.
*O3/A1 Draft Terms of Reference and Policy Brief:* Sivan, when can I have a
first draft? By the end of April we should have finished O3/A1. Remember to
send us also the draft "model to project potential impact" to us, to
support you on this task timely.
*Website news section*: Dear FSFE, can you please coordinate us for the
insertion of new “news” in this section of the websiteas discussed in our
last telco?
*Project poster*: Dear Sivan, can you please send to the consortium a first
proposal?
*O2/A1 Training Plan and self-diagnostic tools: *Dear Brian, can we
complete this task within April, so that O2/A4 can happen in May? It is now
really urgent and we cant wait until the upload is complete anymore.
Francesco has done also some great work towards this direction that you
could use yourself too. He is developing Impact tools that are going to be
used before and after the completion of our training course by the
participants. So please stay in contact with him and myself on this to see
how we can implement this digitally.
*O2 videos:* Dear Brian, can we have the videos ready by the end of April?
We would then be able to show them during May. Let me know what Peter says.
*Dissemination Progress Report (M18):* Dear Galia, have u got my e-mail
inviting you to a call on the report? Do u have any questions on my
feedback? When can I have the updated document from you?
*Stakeholders Matrix*: Each partner should insert 25 entries in the table.
Dear Max, can you please inform me when this task is complete? Looking at
the impact tasks with Francesco we realised that this is included there as
well, so we cant avoid it anymore.
*Multiplier Events*: Remember to plan these events and use them in order to
conduct the training activities required for O2/A4. We will need fotos etc
from you.
*O2 - Tools (surveys and a model for collection of case studies) by DLEARN:
**Francesco *and I had a long Skype yesterday. He has prepared some tools
for us and we want to have an extra call with you on the 2nd of May, so
that he can explain the tasks to you, and you can ask him questions. Before
our call, he will have sent you the required information per email, so that
you have a look before the call. We are talking about proposal pages 62-63
on impact. Please let me know your availability here - times are in CET:

*Update content on moodle:* Dear Sivan, I ve seen your e-mail. There is no
specific date set from us. We seem to be unable to keep the deadlines
lately... I suggest that you try to finish this task before Brian and
Francesco finish with their tasks. After that we will all be ready to start
our training sessions and assessments.
Hope my long e-mail help you a bit! Take care and talk to u soon!
Best,
Katerina
