The document summarizes the Open World Forum, an annual event that brings together open source software leaders from around the world. The 2009 forum will focus on how open source is at the heart of the digital recovery. It will include plenary sessions and tracks on topics like public policy, communities, R&D, and innovation. The goal is to foster collaboration between open source stakeholders and help shape the future of open source through the 2020 FLOSS Roadmap.

Where Open Source Leaders Meet

2. Free/Libre/Open Source Software:
At the heart of the digital revolution
« Open Source Becomes the Hidden Backbone of The Software Industry »
(Forrester, 2008)
« Software vendors that won’t introduce Open Source in their offer won’t be
competitive anymore » (Gartner, 2008)
« Beyond cost reduction, the Open Source paradigm embraces an even more
important long-term benefit: a more innovative and flexible IT shop that can
rapidly seize new opportunities » (Forrester, 2008)
« The Spirit Of Open Source Emerges Inside Large Corporations » (Forrester,
2008)
KEY FIGURES :
- $30 Bn market worldwide in 2008 (Source IDC)
- 95% of adoption by large enterprises in 2008 (Source Gartner)

5. The FLOSS global
challenges
While FLOSS stakeholders are – by nature - so different
(contributors, users, businesses, governments,
academics…) and have so different agendas, how to
foster global synergies?
While FLOSS developments are diverse and – by
nature – organic, how to better think ahead and better
shape the future ?
While FLOSS communities and players are so diverse
and dispersed, how to cross-fertilize initiatives?
