Hi All,
So, I just had a meeting with Mr. Rösler from the OSBA and we talked about how
we could thematically setup our shared half-day track.
OSBA seems to advocate usage of open source in governmental organizations and
are more concentrated on products than technology. I did sense a general
preference of a GPL concept, but I think I did manage to provide the good
reasons, why a more liberal license does help adoption when it comes to
technological “products”. They seem to employ a lobbyist that is trying to
counteract the commercial companies’ lobbyists in Berlin in a quest to bring
more open-source to the government in general and reduce the dependency on
individual companies.
This is the general plot we came up with:
- Into (30 min):
o We set the stage for the track
- Open-Source’s heart is participation (40 min)
o Giving and getting back: Why giving can be rewarding
o Reasons for personal participation
o Reasons for commercial participation
• Open-Sourcing products
• Letting employees participate
• Providing commercial support
- Trust (40 min)
o Multiple-Eyes concept (open code)
o Availability of support
• Community
• Commercial
o Reduced unilateral dependency
o Protection against legal problems
- Open-Source: It’s not all the same (40 min)
o GPL vs Apache (From a license point of view)
o Eclipse vs Apache vs ? (From an organizational / community view)
o (GPL for Products / Apache for technology)?
- Wrap-Up (15 minutes)
We would share each block and provide about 50% of each block.
Providing practical examples is preferred over theoretical talks (Stories from
the trenches).
Preference for German language, but not a requirement.
We would exchange our general abstracts with OSBA to allow preparing the track
in a way that it fits together.
Track-Title: TBD but should be catchy and not boring.

It's September 12-14 in Hamburg, right? If that's correct I could do a
keynote on general ASF things, preferably on the 13th or 14th. It
looks like I'll be in Berlin earlier that week anyway.
