Conference on Open Source Systems

The first conference on Open Source Systems will be held in Genova, Italy, July 11 - 15, 2005. OSS expert from all over the world will speak and discuss about present and future of the OSS development and adoption. A Plone project will be presented in a demo session of the conference.

OSS2005 will bring together people from industry, public administration, and academia to share experiences and ideas and to provide an archival source for important papers on open source topics.

The conference is also meant to provide information and education to practitioners, identify directions for further research, and to be an ongoing platform for technology transfer.

The conference will consist of technical presentations, panels, poster sessions, workshops, tutorials, PhD and an Open Educational Symposium.

Not surprisingly a demo session will be on a Plone-based project; in fact the CALIBRE2 project has chosen Plone as CMS!
"The CALIBRE Work Environment is the main, webbased, collaboration environment for CALIBRE2. It was required that this be a leading-edge technological infrastructure for supporting collaboration, with particular focus on controlled dissemination and reuse. It was also important that the tool be a showcase for the power of open-source developed software."
