Conference: Leveraging the OS community for business
2008 May 24
Something to rectify the recent lack of comment on opensource issues:
-
The focus of contributions should be on the ways in which business can be built around OSS, with a particular attention to the role of communities. Submissions are invited for theoretical and empirical research papers. It’s on 10 September in Turin. (Hat tip: Dirk Riehe)
-
Key point: open source is a business strategy, in support of a business model. You still need to know how to make money, and it doesn’t happen by giving software away for free.
