No shared content such as chat messages or images is collected. Captured events have privacy-respecting identifiers to correlate them among study participants (if required), and to relate events and comments. ROSE's privacy-aware design aims on minimizing interferences with the field.\n* Easy to adopt to changes in the structure of OSNs or even add new sites by standardized observer definitions with push update functionality\n* Bilingual: English(US) and German(DE)\n* Cross-browser compatibility through the [Kango - Cross-browser extension framework](http://kangoextensions.com/)\n\nReferences\n----\nIn the following paper we describe how we use ROSE in our empirical field studies:\n\n\u003e Andreas Poller, Petra Ilyes, Andreas Kramm: Designing privacy-aware online social networks - A reflective socio-technical approach. CSCW ’13 Measuring Networked Social Privacy Workshop, February 23-27, 2013, San Antonio, Texas, USA.\n\u003e\n\u003e [[PDF]](http://testlab.sit.fraunhofer.de/downloads/Publications/poller_osn_design_cscw13_workshop_camera_ready_rot.pdf)\n\nBuild\n-----\n\nTo build ROSE you need `node, npm, bower, ember-cli and gulp` installed.\n\nWe use the kango framework, which has to be integrated manually.\n\n1. Download from http://web.archive.org/web/20160623024659/http://kangoextensions.com/kango/kango-framework-latest.zip\n2. Extract the archive into the rose root folder\n3. Rename it to `kango`\n\nYou can build your own copy of ROSE with the following steps\n\n1. Install dependencies with `npm`\n    ```\n    npm install\n    ```\n    During install you may get asked a few questions. Just choose the defaults. If progress is halted just press return once.\n\n2. Build ROSE UI based on Ember (You can skip this step. A precompiled version is in the repository)\n    ```\n    cd rui/\n    npm install\n    bower install\n    ember build\n    cd ..\n    ```\n\n3. Build packages for Chrome and Safari with Kango into respective folders in `dist`\n    ```\n    gulp build\n    ```\n\nDuring development you can make use of watch processes:\n\n1. Rebuild UI with watch in `rui/`\n    ```\n    ember build -w\n    ````\n\n2. Rebuild ROSE with watch and reload\n    ```\n    gulp\n    ```\n\nAbout\n----\n\nROSE is developed by:\n\n\u003e Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology SIT  \n\u003e Rheinstrasse 75  \n\u003e 64295 Darmstadt  \n\u003e Germany  \n\nFor questions about ROSE feel free to contact Andreas Poller, andreas.poller@sit.fraunhofer.de\n\nLicense\n----\nThis program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License version as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsecure-software-engineering%2Frose","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsecure-software-engineering%2Frose","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsecure-software-engineering%2Frose/lists"}
