Open Forges and Open App Stores: Joining the dots Scott Wilson, OSS Watch
Forges ...
... and App Stores
What are the differences Forges are focussed around the code and the tools for the developer community, with perhaps a "prosumer" user experience. Its up to projects if they want to build their own more user-centric "shopfront" App stores are more focussed on the consumer experience with a generic shopfront
App Stores Platform-centric: iOS, Android, Mac App Store, Windows 8... Operator-centric: Vodafone, Orange... Plugin directories: Wordpress, Chrome, Opera... Open Web Apps: Mozilla, OpenAppMkt Niche stores: ITEC, SURFNet, Widgr, internal enterprise stores
Traditional software downloads CNet Tucows Soft32 Open Source Mac Softpedia ...
Joining Up What are the issues? Contracts and licenses Metadata Publishing and synchronisation Intermediaries
Joining Up: Legal issues Some FOSS licenses are not necessarily compatible with app store terms of service (e.g. GNU Go, VLC...) App Store model isn't necessarily a good fit with distributed open communities Need to interpret different store contracts, agreements and T&Cs http://oss.ly/appstores
Joining Up: Metadata issues Forge metadata is focussed around information related to the management of the project, the code and community (developer-centric) App store metadata is focussed around discovery, use and suitability (user-centric) Standards?
Joining Up: Publishing Integrating stores and forges Multiple target stores Signing and Packaging Beyond one-shot publishing - synchronising releases
Joining Up: Intermediaries
Is it worth it? App stores seem to have a natural maximum size before becoming less useful for discovery App stores may be a side-channel rather than the main channel for distribution - doesn't replace having a user-centric website as well as developer-centric forge page For many open source projects that are cross- platform, many potential app stores to target How important is it to forges?

Open Forges and App Stores

  • 1.
  • 2. Open Forges and Open App Stores: Joining the dots Scott Wilson, OSS Watch
  • 4. ... and App Stores
  • 5. What are the differences Forges are focussed around the code and the tools for the developer community, with perhaps a "prosumer" user experience. Its up to projects if they want to build their own more user-centric "shopfront" App stores are more focussed on the consumer experience with a generic shopfront
  • 6. App Stores Platform-centric: iOS, Android, Mac App Store, Windows 8... Operator-centric: Vodafone, Orange... Plugin directories: Wordpress, Chrome, Opera... Open Web Apps: Mozilla, OpenAppMkt Niche stores: ITEC, SURFNet, Widgr, internal enterprise stores
  • 8. Joining Up What are the issues? Contracts and licenses Metadata Publishing and synchronisation Intermediaries
  • 9. Joining Up: Legal issues Some FOSS licenses are not necessarily compatible with app store terms of service (e.g. GNU Go, VLC...) App Store model isn't necessarily a good fit with distributed open communities Need to interpret different store contracts, agreements and T&Cs http://oss.ly/appstores
  • 10. Joining Up: Metadata issues Forge metadata is focussed around information related to the management of the project, the code and community (developer-centric) App store metadata is focussed around discovery, use and suitability (user-centric) Standards?
  • 11. Joining Up: Publishing Integrating stores and forges Multiple target stores Signing and Packaging Beyond one-shot publishing - synchronising releases
  • 13. Is it worth it? App stores seem to have a natural maximum size before becoming less useful for discovery App stores may be a side-channel rather than the main channel for distribution - doesn't replace having a user-centric website as well as developer-centric forge page For many open source projects that are cross- platform, many potential app stores to target How important is it to forges?
