OpenLogic is organising a webinar titled "Top 10 Ways to Stretch Your Budget by Using More Open Source Software in 2010" on 9 december at 7:00pm GMT (8 pm Brussels time). It is open to all but requires pre-registration.

Here's a description in Openlogic's own words:

"

As budgets and priorities for 2010 begin to take shape, many enterprises are looking to open source software as a way to stretch software budgets and meet business demands. In the last year, enterprises large and small have shifted to a proactive stance: striving to use open source software whenever possible.

This webinar will explore the process of enterprise open source software adoption from the perspective of three key stakeholders within the typical organization: developers, architects, and CIOs. We'll examine the unique challenges and goals of each of these roles, giving you tips on:

 

  • How to overcome internal roadblocks to the use of open source
  • How to meet the legal requirements of open source
  • What are the hottest technology areas for open source that you should consider

 

Whether you're a developer or architect hoping to get more done with open source or a CIO looking to cut costs, this is one webinar you won't want to miss. Be sure to join us on December 9 and find out how you can make the most with open source in 2010.

Le 26 novembre aura lieu à Charleroi (Aéropole de Gosselie) la journée "Open the source: Opportunité des Logiciels Libres". Le programme interpellera plutôt les professionnels intéressés par les opportunités offertes par logiciels libres pour leur entreprise.

A noter qu'il est surprenant de lire cette phrase sur une page du site: "Comment choisir entre un brevet logiciel, une diffusion sous licence propriétaire ou open source ?" alors que les brevets logiciels sont invalides en Europe.
