Palamida is proud to be a silver sponsor of the Open Source Business Conference (OSBC)

Cloud, Data, Mobile and Open Source: It Stars Here

Even as Open Source has gone mainstream, its influence on cloud computing, mobile technology, and Big Data is still in its infancy. Businesses are increasingly data-driven, as the Internet, cloud strategies, social media and mobile technologies have made it possible and imperative to collect massive quantities of data on customers, competitors, and more. Making sense of all that data, analyzing it in real time and using it wisely, all while deploying data-rich applications -- leans heavily on both open-source software--like Cassandra, Hadoop, OpenStack, jQuery, and more—as well as the very principles of open-source development.

OSBC 2012 offers the chance to connect with the developers, users and companies behind the most significant open-source, mobile and cloud technologies, including HTML5 frameworks like jQuery and SproutCore, NoSQL databases like Mongo, Big Data technologies like Hadoop and Cassandra, and cloud platforms like OpenStack and Cloud Foundry. You'll also learn key strategies so that you can make your business more effectively data-driven. Nowhere else will you hear such a comprehensive perspective on the open source industry. The conference program features content-rich sessions from visionary thought-leaders and industry executives on how open source technology is being used and what the implications are from a business perspective.

Palamida is proud to sponsor TechAmerica Technology & IP Event: You Have Open Source. Now What?

Dec 08, 2011 7:30 AM - 10:00 AM PT | Oregon Zoo Portland, OR

A few years ago, the conventional wisdom among companies was either to ride the open source wave or to avoid open source software at all costs. Now, the choice to avoid open source software is gone. Whether you are a hardware company or a software company, you have open source. It’s in your servers, it’s in your phone system, and it is almost certainly in your products whether they are hardware or software. The open source in your phone system is probably a great idea. The open source in your products, on the other hand, may not be. What should you do?

Join three industry experts who will discuss best practices you can bring to bear in order to reap the benefits of open source while avoiding the pitfalls. They will discuss what open source software is, how it found its way into your products, and what its advantages and disadvantages might be.

You will learn:
- Why you should stay on top of this issue;
- How you can manage your open source user obligations in a way that is mindful of limited resources;
- If that open source you just discovered in your product really means that you have to post your source code on your website.

Panel:

Mark Visnick is a practicing attorney and senior consultant with Johnson-Laird, Inc, where he specializes in forensic software analysis for litigation and software due diligence for mergers, acquisitions, and in-bound licensing deals. Marc will explain what open source is, what compliance entails, and where the risks lie.

Chris Perez is a software engineer and former engineering manager at Tektronix. Chris will provide practical advice about how technology companies can manage open source obligations in a way that is consistent with company values and mindful of limited resources.

Jeff Luszcz is the founder and VP of Services and Support at Palamida, where he leads the professional services team responsible for open source compliance audits. Jeff will discuss how Palamida helps companies manage open source software at all stages of their product lifecycles.

Moderator:
Brenna Legaard is an intellectual property attorney at Lane Powell, where she focuses her practice on helping her clients achieve their business goals by securing and enforcing their intellectual property rights.

- Hardware Engineers
- Software Engineers
- Research & Development
- Entrepreneurs
- Information Technology Professionals
- Marketing Professionals

Heather Meeker Webinar - Both Sides Now: Open Source Inside & Outside the Cloud

Computing in the 21st century is moving to the cloud. Web services, mobile applications, and virtualization have changed how we think about software. What does this mean to open source software licensing -- a model built on conventional notions of distribution?

Heather Meeker, Chair of the IP/IT Licensing and Transactions Group at Greenberg Traurig, and author of "The Open Source Alternative," will explain the issues that have grown from the collision of cloud computing and open source. Will clouds be the death of free software? Or vice versa? Join us for an in-depth, interactive session on these timely and relevant issues.

The US patent system is finally close to a major revision. The key provision is a change from ‘first to invent’ to ‘first to file’. It makes complete sense since IP ownership can be clearly traced to a document with a date, which will greatly reduce the incentive to litigate to figure out who was first to invent. It’s a step in the right direction – although not exactly a breakthrough. The rest of the world uses this system already. This system clearly favors large firms with the resources and processes to file fast and file often – and will put small firms at a disadvantage.
