 <title>Open Source Showcase at OpenAdvantage</title>
 <link>http://www.townx.org/blog/elliot/open-source-showcase-openadvantage</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;At &lt;a href=&quot;http://openadvantage.org/&quot;&gt;OpenAdvantage&lt;/a&gt;, we keep running across West Midlands organisations using open source all the time. There are probably hundreds, maybe 5% (or less) of which we&#039;ve had any interaction with. I&#039;d like to uncover these hidden open source users, as it&#039;s great to hear about organisations successfully using open source.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So I suggested we host a &quot;showcase&quot; event, where those companies get to do lightning (10 minute) talks about what they&#039;ve done with open source. I&#039;ve just put up a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openadvantage.org/events/20070620_open_source_showcase&quot;&gt;flyer describing the showcase&lt;/a&gt;, which includes instructions about how speakers (we&#039;re looking for 10) can get involved. Unfortunately, we can&#039;t pay anyone for attending, but hopefully it will be great fun and a good opportunity for networking.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you&#039;re interested, and you&#039;re based in the West Midlands, please get in touch, as we&#039;d love to hear from you.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
