  Much has changed since the inaugural ICGSE conference in 2006. Tools have
improved, awareness of cultural differences is widespread, and developments
such as the foregrounding of open source have all enhanced our ability to work
across geographic divides. But the pervasive and profound impact of software in
the world -- especially for societal scale systems such as social media --
forces new and deeply challenging responsibilities on both developers and
academics. We must find better ways of incorporating ethics into our
development practices and pay far more attention to harmful unintended
consequences as deployed systems interact with and often disrupt crucial social
systems.
