Rutgers University Libraries (RUL) will share its open source software release platform, particularly its policies and procedures, developed over the past few years, to release current and future open source software packages. Highlights of the open source software platform include an organizational structure to manage the testing, documentation, release and ongoing support; a significant shift in RUL’s programming design and development philosophy and practices to create more modular and robust applications; a holistic project-oriented release process that emphasizes compelling end uses for open source software; and a separate release and support process for the Rutgers community that enables the open source process to provide cyberinfrastructure support to Rutgers academic departments. This presentation will also demonstrate the website and discuss the initial open source offering, a METS-based bibliographic utility.
