Notas del editor
- Adoption may include the use of end user or server software
- Unclear which software and sectors they have included. Sampling is also sometimes quite unclear. I am not the one to point fingers but we can all get better at this There has been some research on the adoption of OSS products like: Linux, OpenOffice and Apache HTTP Server. Most of this research has been in the public sector. Most studies in the industry have consisted of a mixed sample from different sectors. Mention Christina Rossi and their effort they talk about the software sector as NACE 72.00
- Highlight the differences between companies and company size in the FLOSS report
- Contacting the by phone helps increase response rates and gives extra information Reminders are imperative
- Duplicates Inactive companies Companies doing all sorts of other things New companies we might have missed The Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities (CCRLE)
- Ask audience about their thoughts
- Most companies are, not surprisingly, using a hybrid business model However, a significant amount have a large share of their income from OSS related activities
- Companies in Norway are small Person hours are expensive The CCREL is not 100% correct
