This is our year

2009 is an important and momentous year for mobile open source. Whilst the global economy is facing unprecedented challenges, many see open source as the future of our global industry. Open Source has been patiently gathering momentum and many see this year as the year for open source to begin to deliver on its vast potential.

For the fourth year running, Open Source in Mobile (OSiM) World will bring together the entire open source ecosystem to debate and plan for the future of the industry. In addition to our multi-streamed fully interactive conference featuring over 80 leading visionaries of the open source world, OSiM World will also feature multiple networking events, late night coding sessions, the 2nd Annual OSiM Pub Quiz, live apps demos from leading operator and OEM apps stores, OpenLounge chillout zones, bloggers corner and a vibrant exhibition floor bursting with content and demos. This year, OSiM World in its entirety will be absolutely free to the independent developer. We are also pleased to announce WIPJam@ OSiM World, the largest mobile developer event in open source. WIP will be running a Jam Session alongside the main conference agenda on Day 2, 16th September. Featuring content aimed exclusively at the independent developer, but open to all, WIPJam@ OSiM World will provide you with content you will hear nowhere else as well as provide you with unrivalled networking opportunities.

OSiM World will feature over 80 open source thought leaders from such companies as T-Mobile, Vodafone, Telefónica, US Cellular, Swisscom, Google, Symbian Foundation, LiMo, Nokia, Intel, Motorola, Sony-Ericsson, HTC, Montavista, Fujitsu, Arm, Qualcomm, PayPal, Amazon, Funambol, GNOME, The Linux Foundation, Mozilla, the New York Times, Samsung and many more. Embracing such new topics as the explosion of the apps store and what it means for open source as well as the leading role open source can play in the mobile cloud and convergence there can be no doubt that OSiM World 2009 will equip you and the entire community with the necessary knowledge and contacts to make this the year for open source.

I look forward to seeing you in Amsterdam
