Dear OW2 Members, Dear All,
{style}
{style:type=div|align=left}This month we have many opportunities for you to participate in.
{style}
{style:type=div|align=left}*Take part in the OW2 Open Source Cloudware Initiative.* Just one month ago, on May 5, we launched the OW2 Open Source Cloudware
Initiative. Our anouncement generated quite a bit of [press coverage>http://www.ow2.org/view/PressReleases/>blank]; as a reminder please take a look at the Initiative page [here>http://www.ow2.org/view/Cloud/>blank] and the [press release>http://www.ow2.org/xwiki/bin/download/Cloud/WebHome/OW2CloudInitiative-PR-long-enV3.5.1.pdf>blank]. The Initiative was introduced at the [Solutions Cloud Computing>http://www.ow2.org/xwiki/bin/view/Events/SolutionsDatacentersandCloudcomputing>blank] trade show and at the [Systematic Cloud Conference>http://www.ow2.org/xwiki/bin/view/Events/GTLL100520>blank], and we held a [Sino-French workshop>http://www.ow2.org/view/Events/SinoFrenchCloudWorkshop>blank] to assess cooperation opportunities. We are now in the second phase where we open up the Initiative: if you want to be part of the action, please check out the *~participation protocol~* [here>http://www.ow2.org/view/Cloud/>blank].{style}
*Provide legal support to OW2.* OW2 is looking for legal support to help clarify and streamline its legal documents and procedures. OW2 has grown into a complex organization and some support would be welcome, either pro bono (best!) or at a nominal fee. If you know any one who can help or want to recommend some one, please write to [us>http://www.ow2.org/xwiki/bin/view/About/ManagementOffice>blank]!
{style:type=div|align=left}{style:type=div|align=left}*Sponsor OW2's business event in Beijing.* This year, along with the programming contest and with the help of BeiHang University, OW2 is organizing a [Corporate Networking Meeting>http://www.ow2.org/view/Events/OW2OpenSourceBusinessnetworkingmeetingChina>blank] for Chinese and international participants.
Join us in Beijing, September 21. Meanwhile, contestants in the [2010 Programming Contest>http://www.ow2.org/view/Events/ProgrammingContest2010>blank] have only a few weeks left to register [here>http://www.ow2.org/view/Events2010ProgrammingContest/Registration>blank] and sponsors are invited to choose among our [sponsoring packages>http://www.ow2.org/xwiki/bin/download/Events/ProgrammingContest2010/SponsorInfoProgContest10-ct.pdf>blank]. {style}{style:type=div|align=left} {style}{style:type=div|align=left}*Recommend a keynote speaker* at this year's Annual Conference to be held November 24-25 in Paris, France.
