Today I presented a session on Collaborating for Open Source Interoperability at the European Catalyst Conference in Barcelona, Spain. I was actually presenting this as a representative of the Open Solutions Alliance - but wearing a Talend shirt, of course.

The presentation was well received by senior IT managers, but I was surprised to see how little open source awareness the attendees had. The overall content of the conference was not very dense open-source-wise, so it’s good that we had the opportunity to present the OSA message to this crowd.

Actually, the area that elicited the most questions was the IP compliance part. Which tells me that these IT managers had probably heard all the FUD about open source, but not the positive stuff. At least today, they heard a few good things.
