OSOM Topics – Second Edition
Here are the OSOM topics from Sibiu, 2nd edition – OSOM Reloaded!
Enjoy! 
OSOM Reloaded – Event Impressions
In data de 29 octombrie, la Facultatea de Stiinte Economice din Sibiu, a avut loc cea de-a doua editie a evenimentului OSOM – Open Source, Open Mind, un eveniment orientat Free Software, organizat anual de Pensacola Tech si Omeron Technologies. Scopul acestui eveniment este de a oferi celor interesati (studenti, liberi profesionisti, companii etc) oportunitatea de a prezenta, demonstra si dezbate cele mai recente idei legate de lumea OS/FS totodata asteptandu-se o accelerare a procesului de cercetare si dezvoltare in zona OS/FS din partea companiilor si a institutiilor universitare.
Cea de-a doua editie OSOM s-a bucurat de spijinul oferit de catre Pentalog High Tech care a participat in calitate de sponsor si expozant.
Evenimentul a avut urmatoarele obiective:
- Prezentarea conceptelor generale Open Source si Free Software
- Prezentarea softului Open Source ca alternativa valida si/sau complementara la softul proprietar
- Prezentarea unor suite de beneficii pe care le poate aduce adoptarea unor solutii Open Source si Free Software
- Oferirea unei sanse studentilor si nu numai in vederea posibilitatilor de a folosi si dezvolta programe si tehnologii OS/FS in Romania.
La OSOM au participat peste 50 persoane (studenti si profesionisti în domeniul IT) care, timp de 3 ore, au asistat la 5 prezentari interesante din domeniul FLOSS:
- Open Source Cloud
- Sibiu Jug Academy Java Open Source technologies for students
- Mozilla – Make the web a better place
- Ubuntu – Linux for human beings
- Magnolia Java Open Source CMS
Evenimentul nu a avut o sectiune comerciala ci mai degraba o sectiune a proiectelor si comunitatilor. Reprezentanti din partea Mozilla si Ubuntu Romania au fost anul acesta invitati speciali avand ca scop principal popularizarea comunitatilor Open Source.
La fel ca prima editie si cea de-a doua editie OSOM s-a bucurat de un real succes. Multumim tuturor pentru participare si interesul acordat!
