The Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) Movement</font><br>
<font face="Times, Times" size=5>Over the last three decades the FOSS
movement has taken the software industry by storm, radically
changing not only the way people produce and consume software, and the
economy around it, but also the perception of quality associated with
distributed and volunteer authoring. Started in software, these
collaborative development and their innovative licensing models are now
spreading to many other domains. In this talk, we'll introduce the
philosophical principles that drive the FOSS movement, we'll outline the
differences between the various "currents" and shed some light
on the socio-economical dynamics they have generated.</font><br>
