Sat Aug 27 04:33:43 UTC 2016

Hi,

This is what I was thinking, it's a draft at this point, please feel free
to chime in.
( perhaps we can do a slack session for more detailed discussion? )

"We would like to introduce a new track covering the nexus between CxOs and
Open Source technology and concepts.

Purpose: To share experiences, knowledge, and network with each other
regarding open source technology and concepts to enable more effective and
robust business solutions from a CxO perspective.

Possible presentation topics:
1 - Open Source Licensing ( perhaps we can do a quick summary and point
people to the legal track for more )
2 - Fighting patent challenges
3 - How to retain and attract Open Source developers and  promote Open
Source contributions within the organization, and address the legal issues.
4 - ... "
