En esta breve presentación se introducirá al participante en las aplicaciones empresariales de Debian, el sistema operativo libre y universal, y como puede una organización de cualquier objeto (pública, privada, académica, defensa, ONG) aprovecharse del modelo de desarrollo colaborativo que caracteriza a la distribución de software libre más grande del Mundo. Se visitarán casos de estudio en América Latina y otras regiones, delineando una estrategia de acercamiento para los participantes que deseen implementar Debian en sus organizaciones. La charla durará entre 45 y 60 minutos, y será realizada en castellano.

In this brief presentation participants will be introduced to enterprise applications of Debian, the free and universal operating system, and how an organization of any type (public, private, academic, defense, NGO) might take profit from the collaborative development approach featured by the biggest free software distribution in the world.

  1. Why change? 1.1 Benefits of deploying free and open source software 1.2 Benefits of the Debian collaborative development approach 1.3 Benefits of changing people's way to do things

  2. Usage patterns 2.1 Deploy a secure, low maintenance backend 2.2 Reduce proprietary and commercial license usage 2.3 Derive an operating system from Debian 2.4 Develop new business strategies

  3. Study cases 3.1 Venezuela's Migration Process (derived distributions, end user migration processes with tens of thousands of Debian users, new backends, et al) 3.2 LatAm Debian derivatives (why?, how they work?) 3.3 Debian as a business strategy (OpenMoko, Asus eeePc, HP support)
