What is COOL?

COOL - Compact OSADL Online Lectures: Open Source meets Industry

  • COOL is an OSADL webinar series.
  • COOL takes place regularly once a month and covers new and state-of-the-art topics on Open Source software in industry, either on legal or on technical aspects.
  • COOL editions each consist of two lectures covering a special "Open Source meets industry" topic followed by a discussion round. The first "basic" lecture provides basic knowledge with regard to the respective topic and the second "advanced" lecture dives deeper into the topic and highlights special aspects. The discussion round gives all participants the possibility to ask questions and discuss with the respective speakers and the audience.
  • COOL speakers are OSADL experts on the one hand and external specialists on the other hand who kindly agreed to share their expert knowledge on the respective topic.
  • COOL is a virtual event. The lectures are held by live video streams. Speakers will be available for questions and discussion in a video conference which will take part subsequent to the live video streams.
  • COOL in general is designed to provide support how to best and compliantly use Open Source software in industry.

Discussion and possibility to ask questions

Description COOL February 2021 edition:

Experience from more than 10 years of providing assistance in fulfilling license obligations of Open Source software has shown that most difficulties could have been overcome much easier if a company-wide policy had been established. On the other hand, to establish such a policy is not that easy, because the particular knowledge is not yet wide-spread available. Therefore and since it is a typical community project, OSADL has started a project to provide all the bits and pieces that are required to establish such a policy. It not only consists of a template to actually create the policy itself but also teaching and training material to understand the underlying background of copyright law. Caren Kresse, who leads this project at OSADL, will present the Open Source Policy template and show participants of this COOL edition how the template can best be used. So far, this is only the theory. In the advanced lecture we would like to give some more insight into the practice of introducing a policy in a real world scenario. Therefore we are very glad that Jan Altenberg has accepted our invitation to talk about how a company can profit from the OSADL Policy template.

Recommended audience COOL February 2021 edition:

Open Source officers, software developers and system integrators, internal and external legal advisors, purchase department employees who deal with Open Source software, employees of QA departments, etc.
