It is being an intense month in the marketing and business area, with lots of trips and interesting meetings. We started collaborating in a Developers Open Source Software event in Microsoft offices, and just one day later we were in Berlin for LinuxTag.
The new LinuxTag’s venue is great and it hosted two big events for three days (DroidCon and LinuxTag) and one day with the re:publica, so the atmosphere has been wonderful. Lots of interesting presentations and quality speakers. Even Bitergia has the chance to participate with a talk about how open development data benefits your project and your community.
The European Community Leadership Summit was on Friday 9th. We have been collaborating with it and we gave a talk about how to use available data from Development Community Metrics. It is the European version of the well known Community Leadership Summit hosted in Portland close the OSCON. It has been the first time that this event occurs in Europe, and the final feelings are quite positive. We are thinking about the next summit and regarding to this, we have started conversations with OpenExpo organization team to have something similar in Spain next June. So, if you are a community leadership willing to share your experiences with us, just let us know!
We have also travelled to Gothenburg for the OpenAutomotive’14, to show our services regarding Open Source projects management, development metrics and analytics to some Genivi Alliance members. It has been just two intense days, seeing how the community has grown, and the potential of embedded systems and free/libre open source software combination on automotive industry.
If haven’t seen our preliminary Genivi Alliance activity, take a look! Seeing companies like BMW or Valeo producing Open Source software, sharing ideas with Jaguar / Land Rover or Volvo about going open makes a clear picture of how important FLOSS is for automotive industry.
And the month will end with a trip to Poznan for another MARKOS plenary meeting (one of the research projects we are working on)..
Update: We have published some photos from the previous meetings:
