Dear OW2 Members, dear All,
OW2 has since our last newsletter been busy with three events in China and four in Europe. Our programming contest Award Conference was hosted by Chengdu University of Information Technology, we introduced OW2 at the CHOICE EU-China conference and were invited to give a keynote at the China National Computer Congress. These were followed by an OW2 village and two sessions at Open World Forum, a booth at the OpenStack Summit, participation in the EU workshop on software public consultation, the OW2 Open Cloud Day at the OpenStack Summit and the main day of our annual conference OW2con'14 at Orange Innovations Garden.

Our appreciation also goes to our sponsors Institut Mines-Telecom, OpenStack, Orange, Microsoft, Engineering/SpagoBI, UShareSoft, ActiveEon/ProActive, Ikoula and the OCEAN, OpenCloudware, RISCOSS and XLcloud projects who helped to make OW2con'14 and the OW2 Open Cloud Day possible and free of charge.
