The European Commission Directorate General for Informatics organises its Open Source Software Event 2008 on 20 October in Málaga, in the Spanish Region of Andalucía. It is organised with the regions of Andalucía and Extremadura in parallel with the Open Source World Conference.
The event will be the official launch of the Open Source Observatory and Repository for European public administrations, Osor.eu. The OSOR is a platform actively supporting the sharing of OSS-based eGovernment applications and experiences across Europe – connecting EU services and Member States.
The day’s sessions are dedicated to presenting
- the OSOR Project, the platform and services
- a small panel of users of the OSOR and interactions with other European Commission OS related projects.
One separate session is dedicated to a workshop on public procurement and open source software; this workshop aims at presenting and discussing the OSOR Guideline on public procurement and FLOSS (Free Libre Open Source Software); some of the questions it answers are:
- How is FLOSS treated by public procurement?
- What are the current practices in Member States?
For a detailed description of the sessions please download the Final Agenda of the event.
The registration for the OSOR launch event is now closed.
