[OW2 Newsletter - July-August 2024 - From the OW2 Management Office]

Dear OW2 Members, dear All,

The 2024 edition of OW2con has been a resounding success, attracting 250+ international visitors with a passion for professional open source solutions to Paris Châtillon, on 11 and 12 June. Many thanks to our sponsors, exhibitors, speakers and attendees for their loyalty.

If you were unable to attend the conference, or were only able to join a part of it, check out the OW2con'24 video including presentations by more than thirty high-profile speakers and also some photos of the conference highlights.

Congratulations to the Mercator, W'IdaaS and Centreon teams, winners of the OW2con'24 Best Project Awards. The English press release (also distributed in French) was recently relayed by GoodTech.info, Global Security Mag, Linuxfr.org and Silicon.fr.

Four breakout sessions took place during the conference, enabling members of NGI Search with Renée Ridgway as session chair, Apereo Foundation coordinated by Patrick Masson, Executive Director at the Apereo Foundation, OSAi (Open Source Accessibility) driven by Christian Paterson, Open Up founder, and OSPO Alliance moderated by Frédéric Aatz, Open Source expert. The four communities were able to present their work in progress and to imagine new collaboration opportunities.

Like many organisations, we are now entering a more peaceful summer break. The whole team at OW2 Management Office wish you a great summer and look forward to seeing you next fall as we prepare for new inspiring events and support activities. Take care and continue to adopt and contribute to brilliant open source solutions!
