CAOS at OSBC
Matthew Aslett, March 3, 2010 @ 12:44 pm ETThe 451 Group has been participating at OSBC for many years and this year will have a larger presence than usual as both Jay and I will be presenting and attending both days and we are sponsoring the event itself.
My presentation – “From Support Services to Software Services – The Evolution of Open Source Business Strategies” – is scheduled for 11:40am – 12:30pm on March 17th as part of the Strategies for the CEO/CMO track.
Jay’s presentation – “Cost Conscious – Calculating and Understanding the Cost Benefits of Open Source Software” – is schedule for 2:00pm – 2:50pm on March 18th as part of the Strategies for the CIO/CTO track.
We’ll also be attending various sessions and related events and already have a number of interesting meetings set up, but if you are going to be in San Francisco and/or at OSBC and want to meet either one or both of us for a briefing or just to say hi and share a beer, drop us a line – or find us at our booth.
The full agenda for OSBC 2010 is here.
