Dear OW2 Members, dear All,
November is key for OW2's European and French community: "Open Source Experience" (OSXP) Paris, the most important open source event in France and one of Europe's biggest, takes place on November 8 and 9. Of course we are there, with a booth (C16) hosting us, two member SMEs (FusionDirectory and XWiki), and the Morphemic cloud project. OW2 also takes the occasion to promote the NGI-Search European initiative: a cascade funding providing grants up to 150.000 EUR to innovative open source Internet search projects (secure and private search, NLP and vocal assistants, data visualization, social computing...). The 1st "open call" starts in December: a lightweight process suitable for SMEs, small research teams and even individuals! And the OW2 Quick App Initiative is back on the Huawei booth (E32), showcasing open source + open data demos focused on cultural heritage: the team will also be on hand to explain technology and answer any question. You can also catch Martin Alvarez-Espinar speaking on the OSXP round-table "Open source for open data and citizen participation" (13.30, Nov. 9) and Christian Paterson in the SIDO panel talk "Civic-Techs & IoT" (15.30, Nov. 8). Of course, OSXP is a unique place to put the focus on OSPOs and governance: OW2 participates in a round table about the OSPO Alliance (11.10, Nov. 8) with Eclipse, IEEE, City of Paris and OpenUp, and another one at OpenCIO Summit about OSS governance use-cases (17.45, Nov. 8) with MAIF, City of Paris and Microsoft. Among other talks: we'll be on stage beside APELL, Orange, Worteks and Makina Korpus to defend Cloud sovereignty and European software vendors independence under the banner of Euclidia alliance, and evangelize with other European communities about the role of foundations and associations in the OSS panorama (15.30, Nov. 9). November is important as well for the Italian OSS community, with SFScon in Bolzano, November 11 and 12. OW2 is represented there by our Italian associate organization RIOS (Rete Italiana Open Source) and our Italian member company Engineering: RIOS, involved in our work on governance at OSPO Alliance, will present the latest developments of our OSS Good Governance methodology. So: come and meet us on our booth at OSXP, and if you can't make it to Paris (or Bolzano?)... Stay tuned! Thanking you for your on-going support,
