Moreover we will have important talks from the Plone co-founders
Alexander Limi and Alan Runyan who will present their
by now traditional "State of Plone" keynote address in which they
summarize the recent past, active present and exciting future of Plone
and Thomas Moroz from OSI (http://www.soros.org) who will present
"Open Source and the Open Society: Using PLONE to build community online",

Abstract
---------------------------

NGOs and non-profits have become important actors in both the
development of public policy and in deployment of technology for
positive social change.  The Open Society Institute (OSI), a private
operating and grantmaking foundation, aims to shape public policy to
promote democratic governance, human rights, and economic, legal, and
social reform. On a local level, OSI implements a range of initiatives
to support the rule of law, education, public health, and independent
media in over 60 countries. At the same time, OSI works to build
alliances across borders and continents on issues such as combating
corruption and human rights abuses.  Recently, OSI engaged  Plone and
open source systems for a comprehensive knowledge management system to
bolster its operations and support its objectives..

In this keynote, Tom Moroz ties together some of the ideas of Karl
Popper that underpin the Open Society Institute and the rationale behind
the implementation of their Knowledge and Resource Locator (KARL).  He
will then explain the rationale that made Plone an appropriate choice
showing the links between the mission of the open society institute and
the open source software movement.



Cheers
Vincenzo
