It is our goal to establish the yearly published Open Source Annual as the standard reference work on Open Source in the German speaking countries.
By employing the knowledge and insight of renowned and noted authors we cover the whole spectrum of Open Source and related fields. Aside from the classic themes of computer science, economics, law and sociology we continue to engage newly evolved fields in the social discussion on Open Source.
Thus we address scientists as well as IT-enterprises, administrations and the interested expert public.
On behalf of the Open Source Annual project team,
Prof. Dr. iur. Bernd Lutterbeck
