6th edition of the Open Source World Conference – Málaga 2008

The International Open Source World Conference is a major event for Spain and Europe, gathering over
6 000 participants every year. It provides a key meeting point to people and companies involved in the world of free and open source software. Its aim is to demonstrate that free and open source software is a consolidated reality worth investing in, and not just a powerful, solid and safe solution.

Throughout the years, the Conference has taken a multidisciplinary approach open to all players and issues. This year’s edition will feature a wide range of keynote speeches, workshops, tutorials, roundtables, plenary sessions (thematic and technical-commercial); as well as an exhibition area where real experiences can be followed.

Papers submissions, possible until 15 June 2008, are called for in the following thematic areas: 

• Technical aspects; 
• Vertical developments; 
• Sectoral developments in education; 
• Institutional initiatives (eGovernment, eInclusion, eDemocracy, Public Administrations and citizens, etc);
• Business and trade developments; 
• Social aspects.

Registration, which is free-of-charge and open to all interested persons and organisations, can be performed online.
