[OW2 Newsletter - December 2024 - From the OW2 Management Office] Dear OW2 Members, dear All, Back from "Open Source Experience" (OSXP) in Paris, we are happy to announce a new member joining us: eXo Platform, a well-known open source digital workplace solution!
And we are already thinking of the next events: do not forget our Open Source Webinar, on Dec. 12, featuring the BlueMind collaborative messaging alternative to Microsoft Exchange and 365, and a NGI Search funding beneficiary success story, SpareCores - a cloud VM benchmarking and comparison site. Then the French public may think of meeting us at the Echirolles city hall (near Grenoble, in the Alps): 2nd edition of AlpOSS - February 20, 2025 - co-organized with the City of Echirolles and our member Linphone: note we still have a few sponsoring opportunities! On the FOSS funding side, the NGI0 Commons Fund has recently unveiled its first batch of beneficiaries: among them, Panoramax - an alternative to Google Street View, initiated in 2022 by Open Street Map and the French geographic institute (IGN), Open Food Facts - the nutrition facts open database, and some famous FOSS projects like Decidim or Collabora. But also smaller initiatives, from SMEs or associations: so do not hesitate to apply and take a chance to get funded! Wishing you, in advance, a Merry Christmas, 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.
