Dear all,
Firstly thanks to Katerina, Brian and Francesco for their feedback on the impact model.
And then secondly, a reminder to Björn/Jonas and Max/Galia to please provide feedback. I would like to go through everyone's feedback as soon as possible so we can finish this part of the project, do the peer review and move on to the policy recommendation.
Best, Sivan
Dear Sivan,
We sent comments (to the FOSS4SMEs list) on 17 May. Our main concern was that, in our experience, cost issues (related to software) are not so important for Swedish companies we have interacted with. We find that a model focused on cost- and profit centres is misleading. Instead, control of digital assets and avoiding lock-in and "black boxes" is considered more important for many companies.
Here are some additional comments concerning the impact model.
It is unclear what represesents the impact model; is it the first page only, the second page only, or both the first and second page?
It is unclear what the arrows represent at the first page.
It is unclear how the top two concepts ("SME FOSS Competence" and "SME FOSS Usage + Contributions") relate to one another and to the eight blue boxes below.
It is unclear how the examples making reference to sources at the bottom of the first page relate to the specific "model" above - did those sources adopt the "model" proposed? This needs to be clarified.
It is unclear what 'o open source “uptake of FOSS migration”' in the formulas for calculation of "Cost savings" and "Sales increases" represents.
Best Jonas & Björn
