Future World Symposium debates the domino effects of open source
The National Microelectronics Institute (NMI) has announced that a panel debate on open source models will take place at the Future World Symposium. Entitled 'the disruptive effect of open source' the session has been created to bring a fresh perspective on the far reaching consequences for traditional commercial models. It will examine the benefits and tradeoffs that open source brings and address how companies can simultaneously scale innovation and deliver profits using the approach.
The Starting on the 15th September at London's historic Lord's Cricket Ground, the two-day conference seeks to unveil the paths of global technological innovation throughout the next decade.
The open source business model has been used in the IT industry for a long time, be it Linux, MySQL or Mozilla, and has delivered some great success for companies trying disrupt the established order, said John Moor, VP of design innovation at the NMI.
The model is applicable to both hard and software and, with Android shining a spotlight on open source, many companies are adopting this approach too. The event's panel of experts will examine the pros and cons in doing so.
Tickets and further Future World Symposium information is available on the FWS-2010 website. You can also follow Future World Symposium news announcements on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter.
The symposium has been organised by the NMI, the UK's semiconductor industry trade association.
