DESCRIPTION:Prof. Carlos Maltzahn\nAbstract\nThe efficiency and speed of 
 large communities that drive open source software projects such as Linux a
 re hard to beat by individual companies. The robustness of these projects 
 creates high valuations for companies who learned how to leverage these pr
 ojects (e.g. IBM acquiring Red hat for $34-billion). But in universities w
 e are just beginning to discover the new possibilities of open source soft
 ware in education\, research\, and technology transfer. In education\, ope
 n source software can be studied in class rooms and students can learn how
  to productively interact with open source software communities. Communiti
 es have developed tools which allow for fast orchestration and deployment 
 of complex software systems in classrooms and can serve as a new kind of m
 edia for deep understanding. In research\, open source software is commonl
 y used to implement prototypes\, run experiments and analyze data. But ope
 n source software can encompass entire experiments that\, using orchestrat
 ion and deployment tools\, can be replicated by researchers and students a
 like. In technology transfer\, promising software research prototypes can 
 be made highly usable and useful by industry/university cooperative resear
 ch centers that provide opportunities and funding for building developer c
 ommunities for those prototypes.\n\nIn this talk I will present two exampl
 es of those new possibilities: first I will give an overview of the Center
  for Research in Open Source Software (cross.ucsc.edu) which I founded fou
 r years ago within UC Santa Cruz. CROSS successfully introduced an industr
 y-sponsored research and incubator program currently funding four research
  fellows and three incubator fellows. In the second example\, I will provi
 de a closer look at one of the incubator projects which is providing progr
 ammable storage for databases and file systems (SkyhookDM) and how it rela
 tes to one of the research projects on “eusocial storage devices” that
  can act collectively.\n \nBiography\nCarlos Maltzahn is the founder and 
 director of the UC Santa Cruz Center for Research in Open Source Software 
 (CROSS). Dr. Maltzahn also co-founded the Systems Research Lab\, known for
  its cutting-edge work on programmable storage systems\, big data storage 
 & processing\, scalable data management\, distributed system performance m
 anagement\, and practical replicable evaluation of computer systems. Carlo
 s joined UC Santa Cruz in 2004\, after five years at Netapp working on net
 work-intermediaries and storage systems. In 2005 he co-founded and became 
 a key mentor on Sage Weil’s Ceph project. In 2008 Carlos became a member
  of the computer science faculty at UC Santa Cruz and has graduated nine P
 h.D. students since. Carlos graduated with a M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Sc
 ience from University of Colorado at Boulder.\n
