At the Edge of Open Source Communities and Companies

| For example, OSS vendors can increasingly

| executing the marketing strategy.
| Furthermore, a vendor could initialize a
| community board where the vendor discusses
| release cycles and development issues with
| community members. Both efforts could later
| lead towards a community-owned association
| that holds the trademark and decides upon
| the development roadmap.

CeBIT Open Source 2010: Call for Projects
,----[ Quote ]
| To follow up on the big success of CeBIT
| Open Source 2009, the theme focus will get
| an especially attractive location at the
| trade show site in Hanover, Germany in 2010.
| The conference organization and Linux Pro
| Magazine are now calling for open source
| projects to apply for free exhibit space at
| CeBIT Open Source 2010.
|
| The largest IT trade show on earth will take
| place from March 2 through 6 in Hannover,
| Germany. The Deutsche Messe organization
| that runs the trade show initiated Open
| Source as a theme focus for the first time
| in 2009, and the surge of visitors into a
| constantly packed hall exceeded all
| expectations. It's clear that Open Source
| will play a major role again at CeBIT in
| 2010. As an incentive, the theme will get a
| prominent new location in Hall 2, where
| exhibitors, the Open Source Forum and the
| Open Source Project Lounge will find a new
| home. As in 2009, commercial enterprises as
| well as free projects will have the
| opportunity to present their work to the
| general public.
