Utah’s Open Source Growth
Posted by Clint Savage on July 18, 2007 in Events, Meetings, News, Rants
I am personally so excited to see the growth of Open Source in Utah. We have such a vibrant community here and I think we can be so much more. Bruce Perens, this years keynote speaker has the vision to lead a national or international explosion of Open Source in Business and Community. I think we all can benefit from hearing what he thinks about Utah and Open Source, about the economic benefits and limitations of Open Source in both the business and user group communities. And because of this, I think Bruce’s presentation is very well timed.
I also believe that the Open Source community in Utah is powerful. We have the power to change how Open Source is percieved, not only in Utah, but around the world. I believe in the benefits of Open Source for individuals, businesses, and the community. I believe in what we’re doing as a whole to help break the average user from the chains of proprietary (and limited) software.
- I believe that businesses want Open Source Software. I also believe it can make them more profitable.
- I believe that Open Source is the solution for the future in many other ways than just software.
- I believe that Community is how the software world will improve, and using Open Source methodologies will bring us together.
- I believe in Utah Open Source.
So I invite you all to come to the Utah Open Source Conference 2007 - The Convergence… I invite you to expand your horizons, and learn about what amazing things are going on in Utah’s Open Source community. I invite you all to attend what’s promising to be the premier Open Source event in Utah, The Utah Open Source Conference. We’ll be there to help you find a seat at the keynote and at the conference to make sure you get the best experience.
