EclipseCon Open Source Executive Strategy Summit
Matthew Aslett, February 5, 2009 @ 9:34 am ETIan Skerrett has announced the details of the Open Source Executive Strategy Summit, a one-day event scheduled to take place alongside this year’s EclipseCon next month.
The summit is a one day event for business executives responsible for their organizations open source strategy and is designed to answer two questions: 1) ‘What Open Source Strategies Are Working Today?’ and 2) ‘What Will Work in the Future?’.
I’m very grateful to how been asked to get involved in the event and present the findings from our recent report Open Source is Not a Business Model, detailing the framework for developing open source strategies based on the various development, licensing and revenue generation tactics.
I’m also looking forward to hearing Larry Rosen‘s presentation on “Optimizing Your Open Source Licensing Decisions”, Paul Clenahan‘s case study on “Actuate’s Open Source Product Strategy”, and Jochen Krause‘s case study on “The transition of the RAP development team to Open Source”, not to mention the panel discussion on the future of open source in the software business.
Full details of the event, including how to register, are here.
