OW2con'22

Open Source Software and Digital Commons

Experts from around the world talk about open source software in modern corporate information systems at OW2con'23.

The central theme of OW2con this year is: "Open Source Software and Digital Commons". As open source becomes more mature it expands toward more commercial and more business-like segments. By moving up the layers of corporate information systems - from the operating system up to the business applications - open source software is increasingly used by non-IT specialists.
The challenge for skilled community developers and professional development teams is to address the needs of the mainstream market with reliable, predictable and well supported industry-grade open source software. Similarly, users must learn how to manage open source professionally so as to adopt open source in a way that is also reliable and predictable. OW2con'23 will address the many challenges of ensuring reliable and predictable open source software.

Last Update (March 15, 2022)

The June 8 and 9 conference will take place online as mentioned earlier, and it will be 100% virtual. We prefer to keep this option in order to reduce the risks of uncertainty for participants and speakers. A second event, face-to-face this time, will nevertheless take place in Paris, on the occasion of the Cloud-Datacenter + Infra conference on June 29 and 30 and will be called "OW2 15 Year Anniversary". There will be a conference session and the OW2 Best Project Awards ceremony starting on 6/29 at 4:30 p.m., followed by a cocktail/social event and a session the next day on 6/30 until noon.
