EOLE 2009 is now finished !

Slides, pictures and recordings are available !!!

The European OpenSource & Free Software Law Event (EOLE) is an event that aims to promote the sharing and dissemination of legal knowledge on Free & Open Source Software (FOSS) licences, as well as the development and promotion of good practices in the field.

Given the scientific orientation of the conference, a particular attention is paid to the delivery of qualitative information on a neutral and non-partisan basis.

EOLE 2008 : the Success of a « Première »

The first edition of EOLE was supported by the event Paris Capitale du Libre 2008 and turned into a real success. Twenty speakers from different countries (France, Italy, Belgium, United States, Switzerland, Ireland) and fields (lawyers, community leaders, stake holders, etc.) shared their experiences with an audience composed of participants from many sectors (law firms, IT industry, governments, universities and FOSS communities).

EOLE 2009 (2nd edition)

Given the success of the first EOLE event and the growing interest attached to FOSS law issues, a new seminar is organized this year. It will take place in Brussels, capital of Europe, in the prestigious confines of the European Parliament. Once again, it will involve many specialists.

The themes of the day will be "FOSS Terminology" and "Mutual software development and other experiences". 

A Committee gathering ten leading experts in the field will supervise the scientific aspects of the programme.

The Greens / European Free Alliance actively supports this event, jointly with many other industrial, university and community sponsors and supporters.
