presentation

As part of its ongoing Meetup series, the OTBC in Beaverton will present "Open SourceOpen source software is computer software for which the human-readable source code is made available under a copyright license (or arrangement such as the public domain) that meets the Open Source Definition. Software: Benefits and Challenges," a panel featuring three distinct perspectives on open source software: legal, business and development. This from the official announcement on the Meetup page: "The panel will consist of speakers experienced with intellectual property issues in adopting open source software, participating in open source and open standard communities, and using a range of licensing models."

Brian Jamison, founder and CEO of OpenSourcery, joins panel moderator Martin Medeiros (partner, Swider Medeiros Haver, LLP) and Jim Wasko (Program Director for Cloud Computing, IBM Systems and Technology Group, IBM) to discuss strategic approaches to leveraging open source vs. proprietary software. We're pretty certain where Brian will fall along that continuum.

The Meetup takes place at the offices of OTBC in Beaverton. Find directions here. We look forward to seeing you there.
