[Conference-europe] when and where

[Karel Charvat]

As summer holiday's  are coming to an end, maybe a good time to start discussing more in depth how open source as a development model could be integrated/used in business.

I would like also add Open Data, because, this is very closed and now in Europe hot topic

Sorry for crossposting, but this snippet from the thread "[Conference-europe] when and where " in the conference-europe at lists.osgeo.org is very interesting for the industry list, which was created in response to a detected need on the first FOSS4G-Europe conference in Bremen last July.

As summer holiday's  are coming to an end, maybe a good time to start discusing more in depth how open source as a development model could be integrated/used in bussines.
