[OW2 Newsletter - September 2021 - From the OW2 Management Office] |

Dear OW2 Members, dear All, With the European Commission now publishing its Horizon Europe calls for projects, this is the time for seizing new opportunities. OW2 is an experienced partner with a spotless track record spanning 10 years and 14 projects. OW2 supports research projects by setting up and maintaining their collaboration and development infrastructures, defining and implementing their communication and dissemination activities, developing their exploitation plans and market analysis and assisting with open source guidance and community building. Check out OW2's collaborative project capabilities and contact us if you are involved in preparing a Horizon Europe proposal. We're here to help. Think open source software for the outcome of your collaborative project and call on OW2 as your Dissemination and Exploitation partner! Concerning the European Commission, the report on the impact of open source on the European economy of which we had a preview at OW2con has just been published. The study finds that open source software contributes between €65 to €95 billion to the European Union’s GDP, comparable to the textile or electrical equipment industries! It should now be clear that open source more than deserves a full-fledged industrial policy of its own. On another note, we are pleased to welcome new Corporate Member Centreon, a global provider of a popular and well-proven open source, business-oriented IT infrastructure monitoring solution. Thanking you for your on-going support.
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. |
New MembersCentreon: with a global footprint of more than 200,000 users, Centreon joins OW2 to grow the community of its open source IT infrastructure monitoring solutions and develop its international network of installation partners.
