Federate F/OSS actors in the region Research and Education Industry Code communities, and users

Through R&D projects

Build F/OSS leveraging the scientific excellence in Ile-de-France Foster emergency of a healthy, strong F/OSS industrial ecosystem Contribute to the wide recognition of Ile-de-France's F/OSS excellence

Taking into account F/OSS ecosystem's specificities

The group has a “social contract” asserting• Commitment to F/OSS in the R&D projects• Exclusion of F/OSS R&D project from patent threats

Fundamentals

World class research and technology Research centers Universities Higher education in ICT

Open, but selective credit allocation Evaluation in the Working Group: relevance to the WG strategy Evaluation in the Cluster: relevance to the cluster strategy Evaluation by the Ministry of Industry: quality and viability And yet, it takes less than 10 months from bare idea to reality

A social contract with the F/OSS community Only F/OSS software when funded Commitment to fully abstain from patent limitations on the software funded Open dissemination of the results

Market opportunities Dynamic SMEs Big firms, PA clients, local and global market

Build the ecosystem

F/OSS changed the traditional ICT scene Need a new model of co-opetition Explain, explain, explain...

many people are still prisoners of a 30 years old ICT market model
