The "Meet the Open Source Industry" Roadshow is over, and what a grand journey it was! The events were in every capital city in Australia from September 25th to October 11th 2007. We had over 210 people from all around Australia come along to meet and greet, including over 40 Open Source companies who participated!
The roadshow was promote the Australian Open Source Industry and Community Census 2007 project and strength of the Open Source industry in Australia.
The event covered both the economic and social opportunities Open Source can provide to Australia, including business, Government, individuals and education. A full recording of the event is available. Many thanks to Scott McKean from Epoch Labs who loaned us recording equipment, and to the Hobart audience for being recorded.
Below are the slides and links to all the companies that participated in the roadshow. They are in alphabetical order, and if you hover over a link of interest you'll see which city event the company participated in.
