| Abstract: |
Ralph Mueller has been working for the Eclipse Project since 2005 and is currently the director of the Eclipse Foundation in Europe. He sees the crux of his work as the creation and enlargement of the European Eclipse development community. Previous to this position, he worked at companies prominant in the IT industry including IBM, OTI, and Siemens-Nixdorf. Open Source Software is commonly understood as free and easy to access commodity. But we see an increasing trend in vertical industries such as banking, insurance and systems engineering to use the Open Source community paradigm to collaboratively develop, maintain and distribute software. In the talk, we want to use the Eclipse Open Source project as an example to describe how Open Source Foundations, licenses and governance models and an open architecture can support these groups and consortia. We will introduce the Eclipse Foundation and its services that it provides to enterprises to capture the value provided by the Eclipse Open Source Project. The speech will be held in German. |
