Nuts & Bolts presentation by Bernard Golden: "Open Source: The Next Five Years"
Bernard Golden, author of
Succeeding with Open Source (Addison-Wesley,
Fall 2004) will speak on where open source is today and where it will go
tomorrow. Linux is now accepted as a viable choice for production
environments. What about other open source products? What will it take for
them to be accepted as well?
Bernard will identify the key factors that enabled Linux to be accepted,
discuss their availability for other open source software, and describe the
changes IT organizations must make as they begin to take on other open
source products. Open source is causing a massive shift of power from
vendors to users. Bernard's presentation will discuss the implications of
this shift for both parties.
Keynote presentation by Farooq Khan: "Open Source Voice Over IP"
Is Open Source the end of software development? If not, then how can new technologies be deployed using Open Source and the Internet? How did we at ADIO built an entire solution of VoIP network services using Open Source software and Linux? Farooq will discuss VoIP in detail, its Open Source components available today and how they are leading to "No New Software" at the Customer's site.
Business Meeting
We will discuss future directions for the group. Bring your good ideas!
