Costs of Open Source licenses and its business model in Europe The goal of this presentation is to focus on Open Source licenses, which are too confusing for people who don't really know Open Source software. We will also analyze how Open Source software makes business and its perspectives in the coming years. Linux on System i & Power Systems This presentation will give you an overview on how to implement Linux on a System i or on a Power System. What are the prerequisites, what distributions are supported, what are the unique advantages of Linux on Power, and what are the newest possibilities offered on the platform. PHP on System i Zend Technologies, The PHP Company, in collaboration with IBM has developed a complete offer for the development and the exploitation of PHP applications on Power System. Zend Solutions for IBM, provide all the capability businesses need to expose, and extend PHP application logic to customers, partners and employees. This presentation will show how Power System users can quickly develop modern web-based applications which fully exploit the power of open source PHP whilst capitalizing on the high performance of their Power Systems. Leveraging PHP, Zend Solutions and IBM businesses have the ideal equation for application modernization. The new Desktop Equation: a Linux workstation virtualized and centralized with DotRiver DotRiver has built an innovative and unique solution with only open source programs to re-use old PCs of 10 years or more that are declared obsolete by current PC technology. All desktop information is centralized and we can access it from all kinds of "terminals" with a stronger security. This is not a simple open source software installed Linux OS desktop, it transforms the work and management philosophy of the desktops. DotRiver proposes this "new desktop equation" for all organizations (public, private, small and large). The DotRiver initiative is supported by the French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME). Plone, from content management to web applications Plone, a professional Open Source Content Management System, is also an Application Generator. Speaker bio’s - François Aubriot François began his business in a French group (MVS, S36, AS/400), and later shifted in the computer service (output management and AS400 system software specialist) of a Swiss German group. In 1996 he created his first company specializing in the Internet Development and extranet applications in the iSeries world. An infrastructure and architecture specialist, François created DotRiver in the beginning of 2008. This is the fruit of 4 years of R&D work with 2 other IT specialists. Jérémie Cayla Jérémie entered the Open Source world by integrating Pilot Systems as a project manager. Specialized in communication and web marketing, his curiosity abounds in web applications and software, especially Plone. Fabian Michel Fabian is an IBM Certified Senior IT Specialist, 14 years of IBM, spent mostly as Systems Engineer, in the mid-range systems environment (AS/400, iSeries, System i). His current role is Systems Architect for IBM Systems & Technology Group. He was previously acting as System Matter Expert for System i as a member of the Systems Sales Implementation of Technology team focusing on new workloads integration, implementation and education covering topics such as: LPAR, Linux, AIX, WebSphere, Performance, etc... He is a frequent speaker for the COMMON organization ( Belgium, Luxembourg and Europe). Christian Durel Christian joined Zend Technologies France as Managing Director in 2007 after having worked for 11 years for a major hardware manufacturer in both sales and marketing roles, and a further 10 years in management positions with two major international IT players, SAP and Oracle. His decision to take on a management position within an open source company was motivated by the tremendous potential he recognized in this technology.
