Presentation: "Open Standards Development: Opportunity or Constraint?"
Time:
Wednesday 14:15 - 15:15
Location:
Concordia
Abstract: Is the open standards movement as significant a development as open source?
Does it translate in opportunities for you, or is standards work a barrier to free
software development? Are standards-development bodies the right places to
engage in software development? Should you get involved, or are standards
forums a waste of time, slow and bureaucratic, and a distraction from open source
development opportunities?
The participants on this panel will share with you their diverse practical experience with open standards and open source development, and they will welcome an animated exchange of opinions. Bring your questions and comments, engage with the experts, and judge for yourself how open standards can help to move technology forward.
