Congress to inform about application of Open Source Software
,----[ Quote ]
| Open-Source-Software (OSS) is a software alternative to the software of
| traditional software manufacturers in particular for small and medium-sized
| entities and should therefore be taken into account by these. Furthermore, an
| always growing number of manufacturing businesses have recently turned to the
| OSS model. But is OSS suitable for business applications? This question is
| soon going to be discussed at the fourth “Open Source Meets Business“
| congress in Nuremberg. In more than 100 talks given by OSS experts and
| businesses experienced in the use of OSS this question will be looked upon
| from several points of views.
