[Openstandaarden] Agoria and OSS

[Henrion Benjamin]

Can someone go to tomorrow's presentation of Mr Patrick Slaets, Agoria?

Read: The speaker will defend the standpoint that the government should
not interfere in Open Source Software.

Agoria is mainly driven by BIG compagnies, and does not represent the
interests of belgian SMEs.

 Many misconceptions still exist around ‘Open Source Software’.
 However, it can achieve rewarding potentialities, such as contributions
 to R&D, and should play a larger role in the Belgian ICT-industry. The
 speaker will defend the standpoint that the government should not
 interfere in Open Source Software.
