Session 
Loosely Coupled Rainbows

No. This is not about web services… it is about human services. 

All around the world Open Source projects sooner or later get swallowed up by big corporate interests. These bring organisation, support and ultimately wealth to only a few of the community members that have dedicated countless hours of their time for free to develop great software.

In this session, Ed will show that Rainbow does not need big corporate, that through the power of a self-organising community such as one developed around the portal product, the Rainbow Community is the Big Business. 

New features of the Rainbow marketplace will be presented for the first time and a vision for the future will be laid bare.  It will show that through the acquisition of trust and the sharing of information within the community, Rainbow will be able to claim the largest development team any company dreams of. 

If you are interested in reaching markets you would not otherwise and become a truly international Rainbow developer or solution consultant, don’t miss this.
