></style>Dear OW2 Members, Dear All,<br /><br />The first OW2 Annual Conference is over. We had 1200 individual registrations! This means OW2 is now among the main open source communities in the world. </p><p>Fortunately not everyone showed up; we wouldn&#39;t have had enough for all at the free beer party :-) We have uploaded for you the <a href="https://www.ow2.org/view/Events2009AnnualConference/Program">presentations </a> and some <a href="https://www.ow2.org/xwiki/bin/view/Events.Photos/OW2AnnualConference2009Photos">pictures</a>. </p><p>The next major event for us is LinuxTag in Berlin where OW2 is staging the &quot;Enterprise Development&quot; track. The full <a href="https://www.ow2.org/xwiki/bin/view/Events/LinuxTag2009Germany">program is here</a>.</p><p>In the meantime you might want to attend one of the webinars organized by the Europe Local Chapter; please <a href="https://www.ow2.org/view/Activities/EuropeLocalChapterWebinars">register here</a> first.</p><p>If you are a student, you should take part in our programming contest, we have <a href="https://www.ow2.org/view/Events2009ProgrammingContest/Topics">21 topics</a>  for you to practice your skills on OW2 projects.</p><p>I&#39;d like to inform our project leaders that they can now take advantage of a new service we have negotiated specially for OW2 projects: an <a href="https://www.ow2.org/xwiki/bin/view/About/UShareSoft">appliance factory</a>!</p><p>And if you have some time left, download our new paper
on <a href="https://www.ow2.org/view/About/OW2Consortium#OW2ecosystemplatform">OW2 strategy</a>: we are not just an open source community, we are a

&quot;platform&quot; and this paper explains why. </p><p>Thank you for your support!</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><span style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial"><br /></span></p>
