Event tonight on OpenSource at SAP
I’ll be going to this tonight - details are below:
October 24, 2006 | SAP Labs | Palo Alto, CA | 6:30PM - 8:30PM
Don’t be afraid of Open Source…it offers an enormous opportunity to reduce IT costs, but only if a myriad of licensing, security, and support issues can be addressed. Companies that help enterprises address these concerns are poised for rapid growth.
In this evening Under the Radar event, we’ll showcase four young companies playing in and enhancing this emerging market. They’ll demo their product to a panel of industry experts who are active in this ecosystem, along with an audience of early adopter technology insiders. Both audience and experts will get a chance to beta test and offer feedback based on favorite features, areas for improvement, the ideal industry “partner” match-ups, and how best to reach out and build up their audience.
