Join us at the *Bolingbrook Fountaindale Public Library
<http://fountaindale.org/>* for what will be a very interesting, intriguing
and useful presentation and discussion, open to the public, hosted by *Dr.
Vijay K. Gurbani <http://ect.bell-labs.com/who/vkg/>* on the methodologies
and techniques of building strong and stable  software for use in the
corporate environment using open source.

This will be of interest to anyone involved in software development in the
corporate world.

*Please note this meeting is on a Monday. (Our meetings have usually been
on Tuesdays in the past.)*
Abstract

We define corporate open source (COS) as applying the precepts and
methodologies prevalent in the open source development community for
creating industrial-strength software projects in a corporation for
internal use. It may seem that open source style development - using
informal processes, voluntary assignment to tasks, and having few financial
incentives - may not be a good match for commercial environments. Our work
not only demonstrated that under the right circumstances corporations
benefit from open source development techniques, but it also laid the
groundwork for the research initiative now called "Inner Source", or the
applications of best practices and culture from the open source domain
applied to internal corporate software development efforts.

As usual, we will be having a "Meeting After the Meeting" for talk and
drinks afterwards at the Gordon Biersch restaurant in the Bolingbrook
Promenade outside mall
