Although relatively focused studies from tOSSad project are planned to compose a part of the workshop, primarily, contributions from other related EU/non-EU projects, researchers, and practitioners are expected.

Submitted papers, reports, case analysis or proposal for demonstrations will be collected by related conveners and will be reviewed by the programme committee. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and will be published as tOSSad2006 proceedings.

I'll be the convenor of 3rd theme (F/OSS usability) with Sandra Frings from University of Stuttgard. This subtheme is intended for practitioners, software developers, HCI specialists and project managers who want to deploy user centered design process of a distributed and/or F/OSS project.
