Open Source Meetup

The first Open Source Meetup will highlight the importance of open source and the implications for the University of Groningen.

The Center for Information Technology (CIT) wants to bring people within the UG together to discuss the important issues about open source.

The event starts with a plenary session with general information about open source. Various speakers will talk about their experience with open source. The joint meeting will be followed by discussion sessions in which you can further discuss your opinion, knowledge and experience of open source.
