[ilugd] [Commercial]CTOSummit: A unique event that discusses Open Source related business opportunities
CTOSummit: A unique event that discusses Open Source related business opportunities Dear Sir/Madam, What's happening in the Open Source space? Is this growth for real or is it just another bubble? Are Indian IT firms benefiting from this phenomenon too? How? Why? These questions will be answered at the CTOSummit happening on the 12th of February 08, at The Taj Westend. Sample of speakers at the CTOSummit: Brian Behlendorf, Co-founder Apache and Collabnet; David Axmark, Co-founder, MySQL; Klaus Knopper, Co-founder, Knoppix. Speakers from Novell, Ingres, TCS, Satyam, Intel, Microsoft, and many more IT firm, will be participating in the discussion at the CTOSummit. Inspired from the Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), which is an annual event in the US, the CTOSummit should be an excellent opportunity for you to discover the business and economics of open source, interact with global and Indian entrepreneurs who have been successful in this arena, and network with the who's who of the IT industry. The Background CTOSummit is one of the events being organised within the Open Source India Week (OSIW), which was earlier known as LinuxAsia. Both, CTOSummit and OSIW are being organised by the EFY Group--publishers of magazines like Electronics For You and LINUX For You. The earlier four LinuxAsia were held only in Delhi, but this year the event has expanded into three cities: Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi. Few facts related to the business side of Open Source: ·MySQL just got bought by Sun Microsystems for UDS$ 1 Billion. ·Ingres and SugarCRM are expected to go IPO this year, and despite being open source firms, they are the darling amongst tech investors and analysts. ·Indian IT giants, like Satyam and TCS, have started releasing open source projects. ·Many SME-IT firms have witnessed growth of over 100-percent in the last three to four years, while working in the Linux/Open Source space.

[ilugd] Share Your views with LINUX For You
Hello All, Greetings from the LINUX For You magazine team! As you all know, we run a section called 'Opinions' in LFY where we pose a question to the community and industry and publish the responses (selected by our technical editors) in the magazine. Thanks to all those who responded to the last month's question. The best among the responses received have been published in the December 2006 issue of LFY. The forthcoming issue of LFY would carry a story on the following: Is the war really against Microsoft? The article would focus on whether OSS world is actually fighting against proprietary software at an ideological level. Or is it that it remains a battle against Microsoft? We would like to focus at the various levels on which this antagonism between the open source evangelists and believers on proprietary software shapes up. Is the discontentment against Microsoft only to the extent of patent issues? Or that Microsoft is just a mere player, while the FOSS community is fighting at the much higher level of psychology... We value your suggestions and comments. So, any idea you would like to share with us is most welcome. Please write to us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:sujata.banerjee%40efyindia.com with a CC to [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:atul%40efyindia.com, before 10th November,2006.
