[Accrington] Open for Business at Wuthering Bytes

[Andres Baravalle]

Open for Business is an annual one day conference hosted by the BCS
Open Source Specialist Group and Open Source Consortium, that aims to
explore key themes in open source software as they relate to service
providers and consumers, across both the private and public sectors.

In 2016 the conference will build on the success of the inaugural
event held the previous year - which took a look at some of the
broader challenges and opportunities, with first-hand experiences - to
dive deeper and consider best practices in driving effective open
source adoption.

Once again we have some fantastic speakers lined-up that bring many
unique insights, including Mike Little, co-founder of WordPress -
which now powers a staggering >26% of the web, Maarten Ectors, Vice
President IoT at Canonical, Matija Suklje, lawyer and FOSS legal
specialist who 5 years Matija served as FSFE's Legal Coordinator, and
Mark Kent, who will provide unique insights into a major open source
platform at BT.

Open for Business is hosted by the BCS Open Source Specialist Group
and the Open Source Consortium, and is being run as part of the
Wuthering Bytes (http://wutheringbytes.com<http://wutheringbytes.com/>) technology festival.
