ABSTRACT

This workshop seeks to increase the likelihood that usabil-ity will become a core value in open source software de-velopment by creating a meeting ground of people with direct experience of both perspectives. Anticipated out-comes include tangible and immediate production of arti-cles and posters, as well as intangible and longer term re-search agenda, outreach efforts to increase the number of people with usability and interaction design expertise in-volved in all open source projects.
