Community Data Science Collective: The Impacts of Organizational Interventions in Open Source Software Engineering
by Madison Deyo 22 Oct '25

22 Oct '25

Join the Community Data Science Collective<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/wiki.communitydata.science/Main_Page__;!…> (CDSC) for our 13 Science of Community Dialogue<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe7eLCGfU3qdBrJA_21jnW-f2ltOliCsuu…>! This dialogue will take place on November 7th at 12pm CT and will explore how free/libre and open source software (FLOSS) projects adapt their work processes to recruit new contributors and build the project communities that they want, and how FLOSS projects redesign collaboration processes within different environments and moments in project lifecycles. Professor Igor Steinmacher (Northern Arizona University) will be joining Matt Gaughan (Northwestern University) to present recent research on topics including: * Documentation practices in FLOSS projects * Disconnect between guidelines and reality * Sustainability challenges in FOSS communities * Leveraging AI for scalable mentorship * Structural shifts for long-term health A full session description<https://wiki.communitydata.science/The_Impacts_of_Organizational_Interventi…> is on our website.

CDSC Community Dialogue - AI Boundaries: Refusal and Privacy
by Madison Deyo 03 Oct '25

03 Oct '25

Join the Community Data Science Collective<https://wiki.communitydata.science/Main_Page> (CDSC) for our 12 Science of Community Dialogue<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdhklHAUERLAfKaqjBUrIC8WWDBaKDgCMy…>! This dialogue will take place on October 17 at 12pm CT and will explore how companion chatbots invite deep emotional disclosure while raising concerns about data privacy—and how some communities are pushing back through AI refusal. Professor Jasmine McNealy (University of Florida) will be joining Hsuen-Chi (Hazel) Chiu (Purdue University) to present recent research on topics including * Emotional disclosure in chatbot interactions * Data privacy and AI refusal * Designing emotionally intelligent, boundary-aware AI * Cultural implications of opting out of AI A full session description<https://wiki.communitydata.science/AI_Boundaries:_Refusal_and_Privacy> is on our website.
