The Open Source Software model continues to mature across markets, attracting more conservative users along the way.

* What are the common business models built around Free Software?
Major points in the presentation will be supported with examples from the business world.

On: Friday at 11:30

In the 1990's public administrations across Europe were among the early users of OSS (Open Source Software). The European Commission took up the issue around 2000. Since then it initiates, sponsors and manages projects that further OSS, investigate OSS usage and the benefits of using OSS for the Information Society at large.

What can you do?

+ Write the Future: Open Standards, Open Source, OpenOffice.org

By: Louis Suarez-Potts (Canada) - Community Manager, OpenOffice.org / Sun Microsystems, Inc
On: Friday at 14:40

Free and Open Source Software is essential to the modern informatic society. It is economically pivotal. But not everything claiming to be open is actually open. What counts is what one can do with the code and standard.
Over 70 different governmental bodies and countless corporations in Europe and around the world have chosen the OpenDocument Format and OpenOffice.org for what it does. And it is for these reasons that OpenOffice.org remains the best choice for today and tomorrow.

+ Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

By: Brian King (Slovenia) - Board of Directors, Mozdev Community Organization
On: Saturday at 10:00

The large corporations that churn out the best selling consumer proprietary software get all the attention. Yet the real heroes are the FLOSS communities and individuals that provide the backbone for the industry, quietly enabling and securing the Internet and other areas of computing. The mantra of Open Source developers is "there is more than one way to do it", and choosing the right tools and technologies from the FLOSS patchwork can be daunting. The best software tools don't get in the way, but rather enable.
This talk will focus on the benefits of using FLOSS in your business, how it can fast-track you into a good position, and most importantly how if can help you innovate and turn your ideas into a success.
--------------------

+ Governing the Use of Open Source

By: Martin Michlmayr (USA) - Open Source Community Expert, Hewlett-Packard Company
On: Saturday at 10:30

Free and Open Source Software has become unavoidable. For very pragmatic and practical reasons, FLOSS provides incredible benefit to those who use it. However, if this software is not managed properly, it can lead to legal, technical, and/or organizational discomfort that can result in very negative impacts on the business. HP (Hewlett-Packard) recognized these realities long ago and has developed processes, tools, and expertise to both foster and govern the use of Open Source Software within the company. In January, HP launched two initiatives related to the governance of FLOSS, FOSSology and FOSSBazaar. FOSSology is an open source tool for license detection. FOSSBazaar is a workgroup of the Linux Foundation, with partners such as OpenLogic and the Olliance Group, to share and discuss best practices related to FLOSS governance.
This talk will describe our experiences and learning around FLOSS governance and some of the best practices and tools we've identified along the way.

+ Dell and Open Source

By: Serban Zirnovan (Romania) - Enterprise Business Manager for Bulgaria and Romania, Dell
On: Saturday at 14:40

Several years ago, when the world was ruled by paper, data was EVERYWHERE … in file cabinets, in massive back offices … and only certain people were allowed to access it. Then, as things progressed, mainframes were used to bring all data into one place … to make it easier to manage and find. The problem was that mainframes were really expensive and inefficient. Only the elite could afford them. Today, we might think we have the best of both worlds … we’ve got all kinds of access to any type of data we want. Plus, we can share it whenever and however we see fit. However, data is once again … EVERYWHERE! We’ve gone back to where we started.
This data explosion is the primary catalyst for all storage problems today.
We’ll also discuss how virtualization allows you to tap into unused capacity hidden within the assets they already own. Virtualization also offers a way for you to reclaim IT resources that are currently being used to maintain inflexible and resource consuming infrastructures.
--------------------

+ Active State and Komodo - Why we chose to make our product open source

By: Shane Caraveo (Canada) - Head of Komodo development, ActiveState Software Inc.
On: Saturday at 15:00

ActiveState has a long history of being involved with and contributing to Open Source projects, especially around Dynamic Languages. We build value added commercial software and services on top of Open Source languages and components. Our most recent contribution, however, is a first of its kind for ActiveState. We took a proprietary product we developed over many years, Komodo Edit, and released it as Open Source software.
In the process we've learned a few things, had some successes, and some failures. In this talk I'll cover some of our strategies around commercial Open Source software and why we choose to open source Komodo. I'll also discuss the area's where we've had wonderful successes and what kind of problems we've encountered.
--------------------

By: Dragos Manac (Romania) - Lead Operations, System & Network Solutions

+ Google and the Open Web: Using Google APIs to Improve Your Website

By: Matthew "Chewy" Trewhella (USA) - Developer Advocate, Google Inc.
On: Saturday at 16:00

The Internet has undergone a shift in the last few years: the rapid growth of web applications has opened up a new and exciting space for developers. At Google, we're really excited about the growth of web apps because we think it provides an open, fast and easy way for developers to have greater reach, for webmasters to get great content, and for users to access powerful, useful tools.

eLiberatica 2008 – oportunităţi şi afaceri folosind tehnologii deschise

Stimaţi parteneri, dragi prieteni,

Ne face o deosebită plăcere să vă anunţăm că au început demersurile pentru pregătirea conferinţei eLiberatica 2008.

Prima ediţie a unuia dintre cele mai importante evenimente IT din România a adunat anul acesta, în luna mai, peste 200 de participanţi la Braşov, unde unele dintre cele mai marcante personalităţi ale mişcării internaţionale Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS), alături de reprezentanţi ai companiilor IT locale şi internaţionale, s-au reunit la iniţiativa ROSI (Romanian Open Source and Free Software Initiative) şi Agora Media.

Evenimentul s-a bucurat de un mare succes, atât în rândul specialiştilor din informatica, cât şi în rândul reprezentanţilor mediului de business prezenţi, ce au putut afla astfel despre o alternativa profitabilă de dezvoltare a afacerii lor.

Prezentările susţinute pe parcursul celor două zile de eveniment au reuşit să acopere o mare parte dintre problemele şi subiectele de interes cu care se confruntă mişcarea FLOSS internaţională, încercând în acelaşi timp să aducă mai multă vizibilitate asupra comunităţii, mediului de afaceri şi proiectelor locale. Având un spirit aparte, eLiberatica a facilitat întrunirea specialiştilor în domeniu, oamenilor de afaceri, profesioniştilor şi pasionaţilor de calculatoare în general, creând astfel un mediu propice atât pentru socializare, cât şi pentru încheierea unor parteneriate de succes.

Ediţia a II-a eLiberatica va avea loc la Bucureşti, oraşul cel mai activ din România din punct de vedere al afacerilor şi dezvoltării economice, în luna mai 2008 (data exactă de desfăşurare va fi comunicată în curând).

Locaţia propusă este World Trade Center - Bucureşti, ce oferă un cadru propice pentru prezentări şi networking, atât pentru oamenii de afaceri, cât şi pentru specialişti, profesori, studenţi şi pasionaţii de informatica în general.

Doar câteva zile până la prima ediţie a eLiberaticii - Mai 2007 la Braşov!
