Commercial Open Source Software

I am pleased to announce details of my second “Building an Effective Commercial Open Source Strategy” workshop, done in partnership with Stephen Walli.

The workshop will be held at the OSIM conference, on the 14th of September in Amsterdam.

This workshop will cover general open source software business and community issues, providing the audience with all information needed to define and implement effective open source policies. Attendees will learn how to assess open source opportunities and risks, understand community issues and come away with an idea of how to obtain competitive advantages through a well-designed open source strategy. Among the open source topics to be addressed are: open source economics, intellectual property management, projects and communities. The workshop will be conducted through a series of units, fostering participation and discussion.
