During the past two years, we investigated the Louisville, Kentucky hackerspace as a venue for hosting undergraduate engineering student projects. The projects took place at LVL1.org, a collaborative workshop in downtown Louisville. There are such "makerspaces" or "hackerspaces" in most medium to large-sized US and European cities. Our nine participants developed a strong sense...
Knowledge management (KM) is essential for success in global software development. Software organizations are now managing knowledge in innovative ways to increase productivity. In agile software development, collaboration and coordination depend on the communication, which is the key to success.
