MyOSS Meetups are back at Open University Malaysia, this time with special guest Dr. Bob Sutor of IBM who will be speaking on Open source, Open Standards and the Open Document Format.
Meetup Agenda
Please join us for an indepth discussion with Dr. Bob Sutor, who will share the trends and issues in open source and open standards worldwide.
The Shift to 'Open': Boost or Brakes for Innovation and Business
Leading ICT companies worldwide are moving towards open standards and open source. Open source is making significant headway into areas that were once the stronghold of proprietary software. Is this a fad or a genuine change in the IT industry? How will this affect your development practices and the skills that you need to acquire? Will we see more or less innovation as a result of greater cross-company and cross-border sharing of information formats and software source code? This talk will discuss the background motivating these questions and provide options as to their answers, as well as how things will shake out over the next five years.
Topics
- Relationship of open source to open standards, with a focus on the enterprise
- Building value in the enterprise through open standards
- Developing high quality and interoperable ICT products
- Equipping students with fundamental and employable skills
