Focus - via Ignacio Correas (eBox): "8 lessons learned from developing an open source community" - Hi everyone, just to introduce myself and the presentation I will give: During my professional experience I have been able to see the interactions between business and community from different points of view: as the CEO and business development manager of Warp Networks (an open source based system integrator), as the president of CESLA and member of the board of ASOLIF (two open source business associations at regional and national level in Spain) and, specially, as the CEO and business development manager of eBox (a business based in the commercialization of its own open source product). In my presentation I will summarize in 8 lessons the experience I have gathered, particularly focusing on why a startup should create and lead an open source community and how it should be done. I hope to bring some useful and valuable ideas. Cheers, Ignacio Correas - Andrea Vascellari

Focus - via Peter Cheng (TargetSource Tech Ltd): "Community Driven Business" - What I want to share is about experience on driven business opportunity from communities based on practices in China with opensource communities. Looking forward to see all you soon in Tampere. Peter Cheng - Andrea Vascellari

Focus - via Jani Penttinen (XIHA Life): "Building a Multi-Cultural Community: Think outside the English-Speaking Box" - Hi! I’m currently finishing the slides for my talk. I’ll be talking about the challenges (and the great opportunity!) with building a multi-cultural community. I have a lot of experience on how to do things and how NOT to do things from the past 3 years as I’ve been involved in building the XIHA Life community (http://www.xihalife.com) We’ve had a great start and rapid growth but this year we have faces some tough challenges. This will be an excellent opportunity to give some advice so others can avoid some of these pitfalls! Looking forward to meeting everyone at MindTrek! Jani Penttinen - Andrea Vascellari
