Do papers submitted to the @npub1tgg…qwzh #OpenSource Conference need to be in ODT format?

The open source software produced in #highered is a "by-project" [by-product] of their primary work (research, teaching and learning, academic/administrative computing); the #OpenSource software produced by companies--and many "projects" waiting for investors--is a "product."
The sustainability, support, and contributor models (and motivations) are thus all different... very different.

I am struck by how outside the "norm" education-derived #opensource projects are, related to funding.
Everyone so far has a commercial orientation, aligned with typical corporate business and revenue models. As such they are emphasizing investors, customers, start-ups, etc.
Also of note is a, perhaps European, emphasis on goverment funding.
I don't think the education sector and the #OSS institutions that produce it, can take advantage of these approaches.

Starting session (framed as a debate) on funding #OpenSource software projects and/or foundations at @npub15uv…xzfq's #OW2con.
Interesting process were those who speak, then point to someone else from the audience to take their spot on the panel.
