The Giant's Round: Open Source and Open Standards for Governments
Panel discussion with Robert Sutor (IBM), Mark Lange (Microsoft) and Carl-Christian Buhr (EU)
Many of today's software companies have an open source strategy of their own. IBM has been there for quite some time while other players like Microsoft only recently have been claiming their seat at the table. The same is true for the public sector where a similar discussion about open standards is gaining steam.
What is it that drives this "move to openness"? What is the motivation of profit-oriented companies to deepen their engagements with the open source community, donate patents or open up code and formats? And most importantly: Why and how do governments benefit from this global trend towards more openness in ICT?
These and more questions will be asked in the panel discussion by Matthias Stürmer, conference organizer of OpenExpo, to the three renowned experts of IBM, Microsoft and the EU. |
