Le rôle de la marque dans le business model des éditeurs de logiciels open source : une étude de cas
More informationThe business model of open-source actors has received particular attention from researchers. However, these studies have not thoroughly investigated the role of branding in this area. Here we propose a case study focusing on a small open-source publisher, Xwiki, which demonstrates how branding can play a crucial role in articulating the two pillars of the business model: the creation and capture of value. We show that synergistic management of the brand and the developer community – while maintaining a high degree of control over both – can allow for exploiting their complementarities.

French computer service and software engineering companies, background and outlook, by Jacques Horaist.The importance of the French computer service and software engineering companies lies not in their percentage of the national turnover, which is modest, but rather in their dynamic outlook and in the impact of their activities. In this respect they are a fine example of the "developed tertiary sector" in which much hope is stored, particularly with regard to generating employment.The technological progress which has been maintained over the last thirty years has meant that costs of equipments have been kept down, with the result that companies can afford to install more and more hardware and consequently increase their need for services. To date, as is demontrasted in the first part of the article, the French computer service companies owe their development mainly to software engineering and userdesigned software based on their creativity, the fruits of their research, the quality of their staff and sound financial management. The fact that they have come to occupy the number two place on the world market is proof of their ability and of the soundness of their approach In recent years, the increasing demand for mass produced hardware and software has led to the industrialization of software production. The new software products are faring very well in France under the driving force of Amercan companies-mainly the hardware producers themselves. The text goes on to point ou that, rather than jumping headlong into this type of production, which involves new business methods, the French computer service companies prefer to consolidate their position. The outlook for demand, taking into consideration foreseeable technological advances, seems to point to a strong trend towards customdesigned applications, with a high intellectual content, particularly in the realm of the data processing networks. But such development will be irregular because of force of habit and the desire among certain users to get the most out of their past investments.If they are to make the most of the situation and maintain their lead, the French computer service and software engineering companies will have, in conjunction with their public or private partners, to find a way round the problems of setting up a market on the European scale, financing their research and training their staff.

Denis Foucambert - The effect of reading skill training during one year in the first grade of secondary school To keep up the skills in reading is one of the most important goals to be achieved in school. This study showed the effect of ELSA - educational software for reading improvement - in relation to its use among sixth- grade pupils. The study assessed pupils of four groups of different practices by means of two tests dealing with different skills in reading. Results highlighted an increase in the performances of 40% for fifty-five minutes of weekly training and 75% for seventy-five minutes a week. This was particularly due to a rise in the reading speed of the pupils. It was also shown that a minimum period of time of about 70 minutes raised the level of reading of all the pupils to that of the top 15% who did not practice.

Les F/OSS font face à de nombreux problèmes de qualité [67, 108, 115] et cette problématique de qualité est d'actualité. Malgré un nombre important de publications sur les F/OSS, nous déplorons la rareté des recherches qui se sont penchées sur l'application des normes de base de développement du génie logiciel au processus de développement libre. Cependant, certains projets libres ont pu développer du logiciel de qualité et ont maintenu ce niveau de qualité dans les logiciels développés ou maintenus au sein de leurs communautés. Cette recherche a donc pour but d'analyser si une norme de développement du génie logiciel telle que la jeune norme ISO/IEC 29110 peut soutenir ou améliorer le processus de développement libre compte tenu de la culture du libre. La méthodologie de …

This article focuses on the relationship between state and civil society in Latin America through the involvement of free software movements in public action. Three modalities of participation have been observed: rejection (Peru), integration (Uruguay) or co-optation (Argentina). Adopting a historical institutionalist perspective, we explain these distinct logics according to the political, social and institutional configurations that have structured the relationship between State and civil society in the past and continue to influence the contemporary processes of citizen inclusion and social participation in public action.

This article describes the different steps of a didactic development research that led to the creation of a computer tool that we named AnDIE which is the acronym for Analyse Didactique des Items avec Excel. In this article, we show the different steps that allowed us to create this tool, based on the pedagogical object development model of Van der Maren (1999). AnDIE aims to help learners better understand the concepts and techniques of classical test theory. In this article, we will explain how we built the tool and how it can facilitate learning of classical test theory.
