First Open Source Business Intelligence Conference... in France ;-)

As usual French people are showing the trends ;-)

For the first time in Europe and perhaps in the world, a real conference day focusing on Open Source Business Intelligence will be hosted in Paris on March 18th.
Hosted beside the French Computer Museum in Paris business district of La Defense, this conference is very close to the « traditional proprietary conferences ». I mean: it’s free to attend. And despite to Steve Ballmer’s statement «Free software means no free soda », free coffee and free lunch will be provided!

How is this possible? Just because Open Source companies everyday looks more and more like traditional companies with marketing and sponsorship budgets. And for this first ever main conference about OSBI all main vendors have decided to sponsor: SpagoBI, Ingres, Jaspersoft, MySQL, Talend, Pentaho… and tomorrow others.

If you are in Paris in March and if you don’t agree with the much closed vision of Gartner about Open Source Business Intelligence just join us! Of course you need to learn French before ;-)
