South Tyrol Free Software Conference 2009

The SFScon of the 13th November 2009 -  the South Tyrol Free Software Conference - is an International Conference on Free Software, which is held annually in South Tyrol. This years topic of the SFScon is: "Free Software: For Innovative Business!".

On 28th October in Rome an experts round table will take place, speaking about governance of Free and Open Source Software. The conference, which is organized by INFORAV, in co-operation with  IPSEMA will discuss about how to procure such kind of software and how to sustain and govern it on the long run.

Beside myself, the discussion panel will be made of Floretta Rolleri, member of the Board of  CNIPA and Roberto Di Cosmo, professor at Paris-Diderot Univeristy and president of the working group of  System@tic Logiciel Libre. Roberto Galoppini will chair. More details in his post.

Web 2.0 is the buzzword of the moment (well, one of the buzzwords). Social networks are one of the forms of Web 2.0 to which most importance is attached. There are many forms of social networking, like Facebook, which is basically a friends' gathering, or Linkedin, which is more "professional", or Plaxo, which is more a tool to gather and share information from a variety of sources connected to any participant.
