This special issue about the FOSS4G-CEE &amp; Geoinformatics 2012, held for the first time in May 2012, is offering selected reviewed papers of the conference. Geoinformatics FCE CTU, started in 2006 at the Department of Mapping and Cartography, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague, covered the academic section of FOSS4G-CEE.<br />The acronym FOSS4G was first introduced in 2004 as an acronym for Free and Open Source Software for Geoinformatics by a Japanese research group in a publication and then used for the GRASS GIS Users Conference held in 2004 in Bangkok, Thailand. Later on this acronym was transferred to Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo.org) for their annual conference. The FOSS4G-CEE 2012 was the first regional FOSS4G conference in Central and East Europe.<br />There were more than sixty presentations, six workshops and five tutorials accepted for the conference. Number of registered participants was 120 from twenty countries, namely the Czech Republik (35), Romania (14), Germany (12), France (6), Austria (5), Slovakia (4) and Estonia, Hungary, Switzerland, Poland, Turkey, USA, Italy, United Kingdom, Croatia, Rwanda, New Zealand, Georgia, Ghana and Nigeria (ranging from 3 to 1 participants).

The following commentary is part of First Monday's Special Issue #2: Open Source. This paper briefly summarises the current research on the free/libre open source software (FLOSS) communities and discusses the deficiency of a body of FLOSS research done from the sociological perspective. Since Eric Raymond's famous 'Cathedral and Bazaar' that depicts a harmoniously cooperative community/bazaar that engages 'hackers' to develop and advocate FLOSS, many other successors have adopted a similar utopian-like perspective to understand the FLOSS development and organisation processes within and across communities. However, I argue that such a view, partially valid in explaining the FLOSS development, not only ignores the diversity of population and their different articulations, interpretation on and performances towards developing FLOSS, but also neglects the different environments and contexts where FLOSS is deployed, developed and implemented. A sociological point of view is vital in that it helps understand the dynamics emerging from the heterogeneity of the FLOSS social world and allows us to see different roles played by diverse actors and various environments and contexts where FLOSS evolves differently. This paper concludes with a list of suggested research topics for future studies.

This special issue contains the six research papers presented at the Association for Learning Technology (ALT) conference, “Building new cultures of learning”, held at the University of Nottingham, England, 10–12 September 2013. This was the first time that the research papers accepted for the annual conference were to be published as a special issue. The editors decided to use a full journal review procedure and required a high standard.(Published: 6 September 2013)Citation: Research in Learning Technology 2013, 21: 22564 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/rlt.v21i0.22564

The purpose of this write-up is to share the extent of the practice of discovery tools to explore e-resources at the Independent University, Bangladesh (IUB) Library, by its faculty members, research scholars and students. This study is also aimed at investigating and sharing the technical procedure of implementing the discovery tool using open source software, i.e. VuFind. A number of popular open source discovery tools have been examined. A comparison has been made to adopt the most suitable one. This study pointed out that a discovery tool has been instituted first time in Bangladesh from the library professionals and university library perspective. The write-up also provided a total scenario and working process of the VuFind discovery tool which has almost all the advanced technologies of the next generation catalog. The study also found that VuFind may be a good tool for moderately technologically competent library professionals for managing their resources with minimum cost and efforts, having customizable code and unlimited instances.
