MiniBar on Open Source
Open Source software has come a long way, since its inception more than 20 years ago. Now mission critical parts of the Internet run on Open Source and companies like MySql are not only a phenomenal business success, but have shown to be able to alter the state of entire market segments of what used to be called the IT sector. This MiniBar will focus on Open Source Business strategies and practices, with the aim to inform about how both to make a business out of OS software and to build a business using OS.
