This is funding to support travel for a diverse group of US PhD students and faculty mentors to participate in an international doctoral consortium on research on Free and Open Source Software that will be co-located with the 7th International Conference on Open Source Systems (OSS 2011), October 5-8, 2011 in Salvador, BA, Brazil. The last decade has witnessed a tremendous growth in the interest and diffusion of Free/libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) technologies, and has changed the way organizations and individuals create, acquire, and distribute software and software-based services. The OSS conference is a leading international forum where a diverse community of academics, industry professionals and FLOSS practitioners can come together to share research findings and experiences. The OSS 2011 Doctoral Consortium will provide a group of approximately 13-15 PhD students studying FLOSS with an environment in which they can share and discuss their goals, methods and results at an early stage of their research. It will take place on October 4, the day before the OSS conference begins. By participating in the doctoral consortium, students will gain feedback on their work from other students and faculty members, allowing them to enhance their own research proposal. Students will also develop a better understanding of the different research communities engaged in the study of open source software. In addition, the consortium will provide students with opportunities to make new professional connections beyond their own disciplines. Because the consortium will be held in Brazil this year, it will also provide opportunities to develop new international connections. Students will be recruited for the doctoral consortium through advertisement on the conference website, postings to relevant mailing lists and direct solicitation to faculty working on FLOSS related research. Particular attention will be placed on identifying participants from under-represented groups. To apply for the consortium, students will submit a paper outlining their research goals and work to date. Applications will be screened by the consortium chairs for fit to the topic area, state of development and quality of the research project.Broader impacts: The OSS doctoral consortia traditionally bring together the best of the next generation of researchers in open source software research, allowing them to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers at a critical stage in their professional development. Applications are encouraged from all doctoral students whose research is OSS-related, regardless of the fields in which they are earning their degrees. Participation is encouraged from a broad range of relevant disciplines and approaches, including (but not limited to) computer science, sociology, psychology, anthropology, information science, cognitive science, communication, and economics. While NSF funds will be used chiefly to support participation by students enrolled in graduate programs in the United States, some international participants may be supported as well in recognition of the fact that the OSS field embraces educational and cultural traditions that vary in different parts of the world. The organizers will try explicitly to identify and include the broadest possible group of highly qualified participants. As a consequence of these steps, the student and faculty participants will constitute a diverse group across a variety of dimensions, which will help broaden the students' horizons to the future benefit of the field.

这是资助旅行的一个多元化的美国博士生和教师导师组参加国际博士生联盟的自由和开源软件的研究，将与第七届国际会议开源系统（OSS 2011），2011年10月5日至8日在萨尔瓦多，BA，巴西。在过去的十年里，人们对自由软件和开源软件（FLOSS）技术的兴趣和传播有了巨大的增长，并且改变了组织和个人创建、获取和分发软件和基于软件的服务的方式。开放源码软件会议是一个主要的国际论坛，学术界、行业专业人士和开放源码软件从业人员可以聚集在一起分享研究成果和经验。 开放源码软件2011年博士生联合会将为大约13-15名研究开放源码软件的博士生提供一个环境，使他们能够在研究的早期阶段分享和讨论他们的目标、方法和结果。它将于10月4日举行，即OSS会议开始的前一天。 通过参加博士联盟，学生将获得其他学生和教师对他们工作的反馈，使他们能够提高自己的研究建议。学生还将更好地了解参与开源软件研究的不同研究社区。此外，该联盟将为学生提供超越自己学科的新专业联系的机会。 由于该联盟今年将在巴西举行，它也将提供发展新的国际联系的机会。 学生将通过在会议网站上刊登广告，张贴到相关邮件列表和直接征求从事FLOSS相关研究的教师来招募博士联盟。将特别注意确定代表性不足群体的与会者。 为了申请该联盟，学生将提交一篇论文，概述他们的研究目标和迄今为止的工作。更广泛的影响：开放源码软件博士联合会传统上将开放源码软件研究领域的下一代最优秀的研究人员聚集在一起，使他们能够在自己之间以及与处于专业发展关键阶段的高级研究人员建立一个社会网络。鼓励所有从事开放源码软件相关研究的博士生申请，无论他们获得学位的领域如何。鼓励广泛的相关学科和方法参与，包括（但不限于）计算机科学，社会学，心理学，人类学，信息科学，认知科学，通信和经济学。虽然国家科学基金会的资金将主要用于支持在美国就读研究生课程的学生参与，但也可支持一些国际参与者，因为开放源码软件领域包含世界各地不同的教育和文化传统。 组织者将明确努力确定和包括尽可能广泛的高素质参与者群体。 作为这些步骤的结果，学生和教师的参与者将构成一个跨各种维度的多元化群体，这将有助于拓宽学生的视野，使该领域的未来受益。
