Ten10 – Open source

Posted by sreedharj on February 16, 2009

In today’s IT It is Open source, Open source and Open source in 2009 and beyond. I just attended an Unconference in Tenth Planet Technologies on open source service management framework. I know little about open source and ITIL. All I could conjecture is open source is IT’s Johannesburg and all we need is to extract and refine open source and add value to our business obviously at affordable cost.

In Tenth Planet Technologies apart from open source what attracted me were the hand prints of different people on the wall symbolizing open source, the unity and collaboration in creation & adversity. The wall paintings with the touch of Indian heritage were simply superb.

Tenth Planet very recently opened their open source youth employment centre “ChipKidz” with the vision of eradicating unemployment, not by offering jobs but by providing opportunities to cash in.

It was really good experience to be present on the maiden unconference of Ten10. As a Volunteer would contribute to the vision of Ten10

You can also contribute just visit www.ten10tpt.ning.com to know more about Ten10

Job seekers visit www.chipkidz.com to cash in on open source opportunities.

Thanks
