--------------------------------------------------------

Open Source Software Conference 2003 is fast approaching and conference
registrations will be closing very soon. Venue: Sydney Harbour Marriott
Hotel, Date: 11th and 12th September, 2003.

Because Open Source Software (OSS) can offer long-term viable solutions
with significant benefits, both government and front line technology
organisations have highlighted their increasing interest in Open Source
technology. That being said a decision between OSS and commercial
off-the-shelf products must be based on three factors, costs - both
direct and indirect, operational and performance benefits as well as
technical support.

The objective of this conference is to identify and discuss "Best in
Class" Open Source solutions that will assist Australian organisations
achieve better ROI on IT investment.  The conference defines the
business case for implementing Open Source technologies and the factors
that will drive commercial success. This pragmatic, strategic driven
event will bring together industry experts and practitioners from the
following corporations including:

Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and Co (US), META Group, Tyco Fire and
Security, OzEmail, Freehills, Telstra, Centrelink, Squiz.Net, AUUG and
RMIT.

It will also provide you with great networking opportunities, a chance
to compare notes with other Open Source professionals and hear about
their challenges and solutions. Delegates include senior representatives

organisations, telecommunications, technology companies and academia.
