We are pleased to welcome new Strategic Member Alcatel Lucent. The telecommunication equipment giant will leverage the consortium's governance framework
to develop an open source business ecosystem around its IP Multimedia Subsystem platform. A presentation of Alcatel Lucent open source strategy is
scheduled at next face-to-face Technology Council meeting.
Our members have established OW2 groups on LinkedIn and Facebook. Other social networks will follow depending on members initiatives or recommendations
from the Technology and Ecosystem Councils.

Open Source Camp
- OW2 Board member Prof. Hongbo Xu will take part in the next Open Source Camp, in Guanzhou, China, and give a presentation of the OW2 Community.
OW2 will also be a platinum sponsor of the event.
- The OW2 Management Office will hold a number of meetings in China at the end-October and give presentations of OW2 at the Beijing Open Source
Camp as well as in the Scilab Programing Contest.
Additional Services
- We are currently working on adding new services to the OW2 technical infrastructure: Dimdim, a Webinar tool (with the help of INRIA) and
FOSSology to manage licenses in our code base. I met Bob Gobeille at OSCON who kindly agreed to help us implement FOSSology.
IPR Policy Maintenance
- After recent community discussions on open source licences (questions on the GLPv3, Affero, proliferation), we realized that our IPR policy
document may require some maintenance and have started discussions get professional help.
Specific End-User Status
- The Ecosystem Council is currently working on a request from the Management Office to propose a new End-User status at the next Board Meeting.
JaVoxx (Javapolis)
- As we were following up regarding the 20+ papers we proposed for next Javoxx conference, we heard that the steering committee was apparently running late and that they intend to issue a
formal call for papers in September...
OW2 Annual Conference
- The OW2 Annual Conference will take place April 1-2, 2009, in Paris, France concurrently with Solutions Linux 2009, a major open source tradeshow. Mark the date.
