With nearly all global organisations using Open Source software today,
the industry faces a challenge of properly understanding the
development, contribution, and communities instrumental to creating an
enterprise-grade Open Source policy and ensuring its successful
adoption.
At the same time with increasing pressure from funding bodies and
institutions to show an increased impact from research activities the
sector faces a challenge of matching impact with research objectives.
Impact is interpreted in so many ways it can be difficult to
understand just what is expected of modern research projects.
The use of open source software licensing and development models for
sustaining software outputs of research projects is becoming
increasingly common. OSS Watch have been funded since 2003 to assist
with these activities and open innovation is a term that is commonly
heard in discussion about increasing the impact of research projects.
However, we were surprised that there are so few events dedicated to
connecting open innovation-driven people, processes, and technologies,
specifically those that promote solutions that directly impact
business.
We created TransferSummit to bring top researchers, academics,
business leaders, organizations, and technologists together to discuss
core requirements, challenges, and opportunities in the use,
development, licensing, funding, and promoting future innovation in
Open Source. We're focused on the comprehensive impact of open
innovation across a range of disciplines and applications,
participants share, discuss, and discover strategic opportunities that
accelerate growth. TransferSummit streamlines the innovation and
resource discovery process, cultivating partnerships, and accelerating
the process of commercialising products.
Join the conversation at Keble College in Oxford 24-25 June and stay
on for the complimentary BarCamp on 26 June.
We're finalising the speaker lineup; our roster includes
representatives from organisations such as: Amazon, The Apache
Software Foundation, CodePlex Foundation, Day Software, GNOME
Foundation, Google, Joint Information Systems Committee, LIMO
Foundation, Microsoft, Mozilla Foundation, Nottingham University, OSS
Watch, SalesAgility, Seneca College, Sirius Corporation Plc,
Sourcesense, Taunton's College, University of Cambridge, and
Wikimedia.
We're passionate about fostering interactions amongst participants and
are working towards ensuring the right environment for both learning
about open innovation in practice and for enhancing your own
engagement with open innovation. TransferSummit is expected to sell
out: register today to take advantage of our Early-Bird rates, and
continue to explore concepts addressed during the event at the BarCamp
the following day.
