    1. Sun Startup Event: Web 2.0 and Open Source in Startups
    Sun Startup Event: Web 2.0 and Open Source in Startups

    The term Web 2.0 has been defined and redefined, refuted, and debated. Now, the term Web 2.0 is used in a context much greater than just technology - from new ways of developing websites, new kinds of business models, new applications or platforms for applications, new kinds of users, to totally new kinds of companies.

    Open source has a central role within this. Open source components form the ideal basis for the development of Web 2.0 solutions and business models of many startups. A variety of Sun's software and hardware offerings is now available as open source and allows you to quickly and easily enter into new markets and business opportunities. Open Sourcing is the leading Sun strategy.

    Therefore do not miss our event on June 19, 2008. Find out what we mean by Web 2.0, understand how our open source strategy looks like and what kind of open source licensing Sun is offering. We show you how to use open source to earn money with, why MySQL the ideal base is and what customers say that base their business model on open source technologies. And, of course, learn how Sun Microsystems supports startups.

    We are looking forward seeing you on June 19 in our office in Hegnau.

    Best regards
