ICT Forum and OpenSource perception

The Greek ICT Forum is a 2-day event for bringing together the Information & Communication Technologies world (companies, academia, government) in Greece.

For the first time ever, a whole one-day track organized by the Greek Free/Open Source Software Society( GFOSS ) was devoted to OpenSource, and I had the good fortune to be invited to present JBoss/Redhat's experiences from the application of JBoss technologies in government projects, as well as, sit together on a panel discussing the strategic use of OpenSource software in the public sector.

In my view, this event marks an important shift in the perception of OpenSource software in Greece and indicates that the time is possibly ripe for change.
