Results of the workshop on Free and Open Source Software and International Cooperation

(17 May 2005) This workshop was dedicated to open source software and international cooperation. The workshop had been organized by the European Commission's Information Society and Media Directorate General, more particularly the units dealing with "Software Technologies" and "International Relations". The rationale for the workshop was that the phenomenon of open source software has received worldwide attention. The workshop had speakers from Japan, Korea and China. Also main European activities in the domain of OSS and international cooperation were presented. This was followed by a round table discussion with participants from European industry. The workshop offered a unique mix of information from Asian and European activities, and provided illuminating views from industry.
