font-family:Arial'>CENDI, the Law Library of Congress and the Federal Library and
Information Center Committee (FLICC) are joining together to hold a workshop on
Open Source Software (OSS) in the Federal government environment. It will be
hosted by FLICC at the Library of Congress. Federal agencies are increasingly
supporting the use and acquisition of open source software as an alternative to
proprietary software in their information technology programs. The workshop
will focus on legal, business and copyright issues related to the development
and use of such software. Speakers will include legal experts and operations
level practitioners who are dealing with these issues on a daily basis. Topics
to be addressed include the development of </span></font><font size=2

business models, the distribution and use within the government, and issues
that should be addressed by agencies as they move into this new, collaborative
development environment.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>This workshop will be of interest to IT managers, policy
makers, legal and general counsel staff, procurement officials and government
contractors.</span></font></p>
