External Links : Open World Forum
Hello, I recently added an external link to Open World Forum, that has been removed. Honestly, I do not understand why it was removed. This is the only Open Source event for decision makers worldwide, not for profit, supported by all large Open Source communities : OSI, Apache, Eclipse, Linux Foundation, OW2, Qualipso... This is the only event of this kind, gathering most key Open Source decision makers from all over the world. Just check the 'About' and the Program Committe list : http://www.openworldforum.org/about. By the way, Florence Devouard was a speaker at the 2009 Edition... This link seems to me much more relevant than other accepted links such as 'http://www.askmar.com/open.html'... or others ;-) If you need more information, please contact me. I will be happy to provide more information to demonstrate this link should be added. ;-) Best regards
