Collaboration, the art of working together, is an essential part of system development, often learned on the job rather than by academic training. Aspects of collaboration include: tangible and intangible results; the fruits of collaboration; community governance; the norms of ownership and usage; and modes of production; the processes for incubating and developing results. This panel will bring together a diverse set of experts to share their opinions and strategies for collaboration.
