The document summarizes an upcoming conference on open source web content management and standards taking place on December 1st, 2009 in Boston. It discusses different types of open source projects, noting that open source does not always mean open standards. It also outlines three areas of convergence between open source and standards: reference implementations of standards by open source projects, reciprocal development when one depends on the other ("chicken and egg"), and dedication to specification details by open source communities and standards bodies.
