>The Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) Movement
>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.
>
>Stefano Mazzocchi has been writing open source software and fostering open 
>development communities for the last 8 years. He is member and director of 
>the Apache Software Foundation, a no-profit organization that maintains 
>the Apache Web Server, running 70% of the world's web sites. He is 
>currently part of the MIT Digital Library Research Group applying Semantic 
>Web technologies to digital libraries.
