Please convey any suggestions, etc. to me for rollup, and I'll
communicate to Greg. Bjorn, would you like to post this as the current
abstract content for Greg?

Hi Tim,

I saw on the site that you titled my talk as "Comparing Apache and
Eclipse". That should be just fine, and I'll have no problem tweaking
my presentation to follow that title. I'll suggest the following
abstract, and would be happy for any feedback you may have:


Open Source is dramatically changing the landscape of the software
industry. Businesses that develop software will certainly be swept
into this new environment, but the impact is even larger than that:
all consumers of software will be affected by the economics behind
this change. Greg's keynote will cover these changes and how
foundations like Eclipse and Apache are prepared to follow this trend,
enhance it, and serve the needs of this future software economy.


Please let me know if you have any suggestions/edits. Thanks!

Cheers,
