Open Source Goes Mainstream
Click here to read a summary about Gartner's great European Open Source Summit as reported in LinuxUser & Developer Magazine.

"By 2010, most IT organizations will have formal Open Source management and acquisition strategies" Mark Driver, Open Source Summit Chair. Will you be ready?

As this new software model merges into more everyday applications, the second Gartner Open Source Summit is an opportunity to fully explore the challenges of adopting it - as well as a chance to meet the vendors at the forefront of the movement.

Open source is, and will continue to be, at the head of a sea-change in the world of information technology. With some 50% of IT personnel calling themselves "beginners" when it comes to open source, the Summit offers a rare chance to go from "zero to 60" in critical Open Source IT know-how. Attend the Summit and position yourself as a leader as you examine how to deliver the benefits of Open Source technology to your organization.

Co-located with the Gartner Application Development Summit, September 25-27. Get even more value out of the event by also attending the co-located Application Development Summit. Application agility is all about change. New processes, tools, roles and responsibilities will be required. And that will force difficult AD decisions and uncomfortable shifts in your enterprise's culture.

You've got a lot to bring to the new IT organization, and the Application Development Summit and Open Source Summit will spell out the steps you need to take to steer your organization in the right direction. We'll sharpen your focus on SOA as we dive deep into discussions of agility and speed — and the new requirements demanded of your management, architecture, infrastructure and people. We'll also sort through the most pressing issues surrounding BPM and solve new challenges presented by packaged applications, Web services and much more. For more details, visit gartner.com/us/ad
