GSD Collaboration Let's talk about Globally-distributed Software Development!

Our SEAFOOD 2010 slides on "Global Software Development: A Case Study" are now available for download.

Link to my POV slides on why GSD matters, and blog writeup, for the IEEE Computer Society chapter panel on Practical Software Development.

Today, thanks to via @dwhelan and @SAlhir, I came across a 10-year-old Harvard Business Review article by Edward M. Hallowell on the importance of real, face-to-face ‘human moments’ to meaningful communication and resolving or defusing interpersonal issues. Its relevance to globally distributed soft

Paper and poster on "Measuring Collaboration in Globally Distributed Software Development Teams" presented at the Human Aspects of Software Engineering workshop at the last OOPSLA (ever). PDFs are available for download.

A few of the tips are tool-specific (including one for their own product), but not all are; it touches nicely on the key factors of communication, trust, coordination, cultural awareness, etc.

I recently attended a workshop on cultural and communications issues with global development at the 2009 Requirements Engineering conference. At the end, I asked the attendees whether they were aware of any web portal for GSD (globally distributed software development) … none could be identified. So
