Description

1. Michael Koch:

"Out of this and an interest in using open source methods in engineering, the OpenPario Project was born to help engineers collaborate. Most of its use has been by engineering students at Oregon State, of which we've been looking at how they utilize such tools for engineering design (this work is ongoing)."


2. Project description:

"open+pario is a project hosting environment featuring task & time tracking, wikis, blogs, file upload, workflows, forums, decision making tools and more.

The goal of this site is to create a platform that allows users to manage projects in an open fashion so as to foster a collaborative workspace. In the spirit of open source software, all information posted will be freely open to the public, from which other users may draw off of and contribute or start their own projects. More about this site.

The primary focus of the developers is open design & development of engineering projects (such as open source hardware) but is open to anyone looking for these sorts of tools." (http://openpario.mime.oregonstate.edu/)


Status

Sam Rose:

"We could for now state that Open Pario is developing a partnership with Forward Foundation, to develop multiple revenue models, new types of services, and to be able to scale up the service. Plus we are going to help intersperse the site with literacies of collaboration and cooperation targeted towards people seeking to create ongoing, sustainable projects around open design."
