DESCRIPTION:TechAmerica &#13\;\n(formerly known as AeA)&#13\;\nOpen Sourc

 ___________________________&#13\;\nAbout the program: &#13\;\n&#13\;\nPo
 rtland has a productive and creative open source community\, and great b
 usiness advantage awaits companies who can use open source code to make 
 a better proprietary product cheaper or faster. However\, traditional th
 inking divides companies into two camps:  open source companies\, which 
 embrace the open source business model and have no proprietary products\
 , and proprietary software companies\, which may want to use open source
  software either in the development process or as part of the product\, 
 but which often dare not risk doing so because of the legal risks.   &#1
 3\;\n&#13\;\nPortland's open source community is vibrant and energetic. 
  Can proprietary companies tap into that creativity while avoiding the l
 egal pitfalls?   &#13\;\n&#13\;\nA panel of local entrepreneurs will dis
 cuss new law on open source license agreements\, how local technology co
 mpanies have successfully (or not so successfully) incorporated open sou
 rce code into their proprietary products\, and their best advice as to h
 ow a company can navigate the legal and technical minefields to get bett
 er products to market faster by harnessing open source innovations.   &#
 13\;\n&#13\;\nWhat Will Be Discussed?   &#13\;\n*  Effective strategies 
 for managing the legal risks of including open source in proprietary cod
 e&#13\;\n*  Local technology companies? experiences managing investor co
 ncerns regarding open source &#13\;\n*  How to determine whether open so
 urce code offers value to your company &#13\;\n&#13\;\nModerator: &#13\;
 \nBrenna Legaard\, Partner\, Chernoff\, Vilhauer\, McClung &amp\; Stenze
 l\, LLP &#13\;\nBrenna will discuss what courts have recently had to say
  about open source licenses\, the legal consequences of violating them\,
  and how companies can manage the legal risks of using open source code 
 in proprietary software. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nPanelists: &#13\;\nStuart Cohen
 \, Chief Executive Officer\, Collaborative Software Initiative &#13\;\nC
 ohen is responsible for marshaling CSI's leadership team and IT business
  and technology leaders to apply open source methodologies to software d
 evelopment and business communities. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nBill McQuaide\, Exe
 cutive Vice President of Products and Services\, Black Duck Software &#1
 3\;\nBill will review what you need to know about how to protect your so
 ftware value in a merger or acquisition and how to accelerate software d
 evelopment through the managed use of open source and third-party code.&
 #13\;\n&#13\;\nCarl Ruggiero\, Trilinear Technologies &#13\;\nCarl has r
 eal world experience integrating open source software into commercial pr
 oducts\, including managing legal issues and investor concerns.   He wil
