[OW2 Newsletter - April 2025 - From the OW2 Management Office] Dear OW2 Members, dear All, Should I have a single word to say, it is "OW2con". Now the (preliminary) program is online, and registrations open: check OW2con'25 web site. With warm thanks to our current sponsors, as the list goes beyond OW2 members: Orange, Worteks, Centreon, Linagora and Open Up, but also MAIF, Groupe BPCE, Thales and OnlyOffice! And still some sponsorship opportunities available: a Silver sponsoring, with a stand on site, is worth 2,000 EUR, and it is half the price for the entry "Bronze" package, making sponsorship worth the attendance cost of many similar professional events!
What we aim at is maintaining OW2con free, this is also a value for sponsors to communicate on - defending free and open events, not just commercial ones, be it about professional open source! This also differentiates European foundations from others, I think. On our events schedule, another one is getting really close: next Open Source Webinar on April 3 - it is just 50' online, still time to add it to your agenda! And, last but not least (for OW2 members), our General Assembly - online - takes place on Wednesday April 23, 5:30pm, Paris time: the link will be published on due time, and sent to members mailing lists. Looking forward to meeting you at some of our events,
The OW2 Management Office PS: Project leaders: Please use your project dashboard to publish your updates. Your news will appear on our Project Marketplace home page and in this newsletter.
