,----[ Quote ]
| Forget Paris in the spring. Do it in the Fall this year, particularly if you
| are involved, interested or even vaguely curious about open source software.
|
| That's because in October, the second Open World Forum with the Open Source
| Think Tank will take place in Paris and bring together the key global players
| in the Free, Libre and Open Software (FLOSS) community.

LinuxFest to highlight open-source software
,----[ Quote ]
| Twenty of the biggest brains in open-source software will descend on Clemson
| University Saturday for the SouthEast LinuxFest. Open-source programs differ
| from commercial software in that the former can be tweaked by virtually
| anyone. And they're free.
|
| The open-source alternative for Windows, for instance, is Linux. A popular
| open-source alternative for Internet Explorer is Firefox. Several cell phones
| run on open-source platforms.

Cobos Project: The Open Source Cobol / Mainframe Factory - Wed. 24th June at
3:00 pm (GMT), 9:00 am (EDT)
,----[ Quote ]
| As in certain commercial Mainframe solutions found in the market, but often
| at a dissuasive price, the Cobos Project enables developers to work locally:
| the required source files (Cobol, CICS, DB2) are downloaded on Eclipse then
| reloaded on the mainframe following the intervention of the developer, who
| can work totally autonomously on an economical workstation.
