Upcoming Talk at LinuxWorld San Francisco 05

ObjectWeb will hold a booth (# 2056) in the .org pavillion at Linux World, San Fransisco, CA, USA, on August 9-11, 2005! I will also deliver a talk at 1PM on August 9, 2005:

Middleware the open-source way: technical superiority and business opportunities for the digital age

"Middleware is the new frontier for open source and brings opportunities to contain costs, to focus on innovative engineering, to find new sources of revenue and to go to market with unique competitive advantages. With members in about 80 countries and a team of 400 committers, ObjectWeb is a fast-growing, nonprofit organization that focuses on high-quality open source middleware. For example, JOnAS from ObjectWeb was the first open source application server developed in a nonprofit way to achieve J2EE certification. The benefits of open standard compliant, production-grade middleware is made available to everyone as an alternative, or as a complement, to proprietary solutions.

In this presentation, you’ll learn how open source players come together to build an ecosystem where users find high quality software and professional services. Case studies of open-source middleware deployed in production in government, healthcare, financial institutions and more will demonstrate that, however hidden, open source middleware is now a mainstream option that you should consider too."
