The benefits and freedom of open source technology are clearly being driven from community development across the enterprise for more and more companies, including HP. Christine Martino, VP of HP's Open Source and Linux Organization, will review how new business models have emerged, thereby perpetuating the benefits of open source back to the community from which it spawned.

In addition to discussing some of the challenges facing the community for continued enterprise adoption, Martino will demonstrate how open source and Linux have enabled customers to solve important business challenges and become an integral part of HP's own enterprise infrastructure.
