|
Monday
7th July, 10.30 am - 12.30 pm |
|
Kindly
hosted by Intellect, 20 Red Lion Street, London WC1R 4QN |
|
|
|
The next
meeting of EURIM's Open Source Subgroup will take place on Monday 7th July
from 10.30 - 12.30 am at Intellect's offices, 20 Red Lion Street, London
WC2R. All members of EURIM's modernising government group are
welcome to attend. The purpose of the meeting is to review the draft
paper on Open Source which the drafting group has put together from various
submissions. See http://www.emma.fryer.btinternet.co.uk/oss-brief05.htm or
email me for a Word, text or hard copy. |
|
|
|
The paper
sets out the background and potted history of Open Source, what Open Source
is and is not, summarises some recent developments both in the policy
arena and the marketplace, and provides some basic facts about some of the
products available. The paper does not take a
position. The paper is supported by a glossary which will be available
shortly online. |
|
|
|
Extensive
input is now needed from EURIM members to add any missing information, and to
ensure that the paper is balanced. Please, if at all possible, submit
comments in advance of the meeting so that they can be collated in advance
before they are tabled. Alternatively, please raise comments at the
meeting. If you are unable to attend, please send comments by the end
of Friday 4th July to me at emma.fryer@btinternet.com
so that I can ensure they are tabled on Monday morning. |
|
|
|
|
|
If you
would like to attend either or both meetings, please reply to this email and
I will reserve a place for you and send you meeting papers. If you
cannot attend but wish to be kept informed, please let me know and I will
ensure you receive papers, minutes and future meeting notifications. Please
state clearly which of the two meetings you wish to attend or receive papers
for. |
