The 1st Summit of the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) will be held September 2nd - 4th at the BCC Berlin. Kicking off on Thursday (Sep. 2nd) with the motto "Let's talk about business" various business models and experiences around Free Software will be discussed. Dr. Johannes Loxen, CEO of SerNet, will be one of the speakers on this day with a lecture on OPOSSO, a new platform for Subscription Management.
At 4:15 p.m. Loxen introduces the free software project OPOSSO, published by SerNet and under AGPLv3. OPOSSO is a platform for the management of subscriptions and makes it easier for developers to establish a sustainable business model on a subscription basis. OPOSSO automates the handling of high subscriber numbers, start and end dates of the subscriptions and the combination with web stores and software repositories. It follows the premise that the lower the price for the subscription is, the more the subscription process itself must be automated.
OPOSSO won the silver OSBAR 2015 – the Open Source Business Award of the OSB Alliance.
The FSFE Summit will bring together FSFE members and supporters from all over Europe. The Summit is organized as subconference of the QtCon which combines five free software Communities and projects under one roof: Qt Contributors, VideoLAN, KDAB, KDE – and FSFE.
