Webinar 1 : Getting lawyers to work together in an open source compliance approach
22 May at 10:30 am, in Paris, France and online
Webinar 2 : TBD
21 June at 10:30 am, in Barcelona, Spain and online
This webinar will be devoted to the presentation of practices and tools used to involve lawyers in Open Source compliance procedures.
Due to the high level of technical nature and complexity of such a compliance approach, it is necessary to think overall about new collective solutions and to adapt interdisciplinary internal processes based on the automation and traceability of decisions taken. These new collaborative practices must therefore be questioned, particularly through their compatibility with the current roles of lawyers or in-house counsel.
These are all issues that need to be reinvented to meet the needs of end-users of Open Source and also those of legal professionals. The objective of this webinar will be to raise the points mentioned above by illustrating them with concrete situations discussing the subject of Open Source Compliance. Through this empirical and situated approach, we will lead the participants to explore different avenues and complete a roadmap sharing good practices regarding compliance.

Webinar 3 :Open Source legal compliance and public administrations
September, in Turin, Italy and online
Webinar 4 : TBD
October
Public Administrations have different problems than private entities in managing the legal compliance of free software / open source: they have different rules to comply with (e.g. on the selection of service providers, spending rules, etc.).
But Public Administrations also have a different position (and culture) with respect to the generation of common goods and specific rules that favour collaboration and sharing.
Nevertheless, Public Administrations lag behind in organising and coordinating themselves and have much to learn in the legal management of free software / open source, although the need for improvement is increasingly felt, especially by the most innovative Public Administrations.
The seminar will explore how Public Administrations can work together, linking Open Source Public Offices (OSPOs), to foster open management of free software legal compliance (verifying licence compatibility, etc.) and community generation to foster the development, distribution and use of free software.
