This one day conference aims to help anyone with or working at an open

contracts.

We will also hear about the role of open source in taking ideas out of
University and into commercial deployment. There will be presentations
that explore public sector adoption of open source and the
opportunities that it presents. Finally, there there will be a talk
that looks at the government support available for innovation.
