Dear OW2 Members, dear All,
OW2 is exhibiting at CeBIT this week for the first time. The keynote theme for CeBIT 2013 is "Shareconomy" – it could have been tailor-made just for OW2! This is exactly what we do: OW2 is a "Shareconomy" enabler; we help our members share knowledge to increase knowledge, we help them share expertise to create value and opportunities.
At CeBIT, we are unveiling CHOReOS, an EU-funded, three-year R&D project and launching the OW2 Future Internet Software and services initiative (FISSi). CHOReOS is the technology behind FISSi. It is a breakthrough approach to develop and run the next generation of large-scale Internet applications that will connect hundreds of millions of applications, devices and systems.
Don't forget the notice we sent you regarding the General Assembly and the members of the Board election. Candidates have until Monday, March 11, to apply. Please check out this page here for a comprehensive overview of the process.
Thanking you for your on-going support,
Cedric Thomas
PS: Project leaders: Do not forget to use the OW2 Forge to tell everybody about your project updates. News will appear on the OW2 forge, our home page and in this newsletter
