As the development and use of open source software OSS becomes prominent, the issue of its outreach in an educational context arises. The practices fundamental to software engineering, including those related to management, process, and workflow deliverables, are examined in light of OSS. Based on a pragmatic framework, the prospects of integrating OSS in a traditional software engineering curriculum are outlined, and concerns in realizing them are given. In doing so, the cases of the adoption…

Migrating from Closed Source Software to OSS–Security Issues and Challenges
TLDR
A model to address security challenges during migrations to OSS is proposed, developed through enhancements of previous models aimed at addressing security threats and protecting sensitive information during system migrations.
Towards a model on security challenges during closed source software to OSS migrations
TLDR
A model to address security challenges during migrations to OSS is proposed, developed through enhancements of previous models aimed at addressing security threats and protecting sensitive information during system migrations.
A Framework to Manage Sensitive Information during its Migration between Software Platforms
TLDR
How sensitive information in organizations can be handled and protected during migrations is suggested, by using the migration from proprietary software to open source software to develop a management framework that can be used to manage such a migration process.
