Ludwigsburg, Germany
Agenda
Business opportunities found in the active
participation with open source organizations
Sylvain Wallez, Co-founder Anyware Technologies and past Vice President of Apache
Software Foundation
Abstract: The rise of open source has heavily changed the sofware industry, as
lots of high quality software is now available for free, and this has
challenged the traditional business of many software publishing companies. But new
opportunities have also emerged, and active participation with open source
organizations can be a key asset in a company in many areas: technical,
business and marketing. The talk will introduce the various members of an open
source project's ecosystem, and how each of them can benefit in having an
active role in the community.

Roundtable Discussion: Selling Eclipse to
Senior Executives
Eclipse is well known and understood in the developer and engineering
community. However, senior executives at large corporations are typically less
informed of the benefits Eclipse to their organizations. In this session, we
will have a round table discussion to brainstorm different benefits, messages
and tactics that can be used to sell Eclipse and Eclipse-based products to
senior executives.
