Open Source Seminar 2009
The Open Source Seminar took place on the 8th of May 2009. This is a succinct report of the event.
Summary
The Open Source Seminar 2009 was organized by the HAAGA-HELIA Linux Club to increase awareness and understanding of Open Source and other related subjects. Therefore we invited some companies and organizations to give presentations about free and open source software and enhance the understanding of consumer rights, copyright and trademark laws that are affecting us all and how they should be changed. Another aim of the Open Source Seminar was to give students some guidance on what they should focus on with regard to their studies for their future.
