Presentation: "Panel: Open Source and Open Standards"

Track: Solution Track - Wednesday

Time: Wednesday 17:00 - 18:00

Location: Rutherford Room

Abstract:

This panel discussion will focus on the synergies and tensions between open source and the standards process. Why and when should open-source developers get involved in the standards development? How do standards-developing organizations such as the Java Community Process (JCP) need to change in order to accommodate individuals and open-source groups? What lessons can each group learn from the other?

The participants in this discussion have direct and practical experience in the open standards and the open source worlds.

Join us for a stimulating discussion, and bring your questions and comments.
