QualiPSo Network Board’s news.

Last QNB meeting,  in Rome, network’s members evaluated and approved a new competence centre candidate: IPA QualiPSo Competence Centre.

IPA stands for Information-Technology Promotion Agency (IPA) of Japan and it is located in Tokyo. As its proposal says, “IPA CC is fostering OSS development and adoption”. To do that, IPA CC will starts developing an environment for evaluating OSS-products and later they will enhance their activities trying to offers services based on QualiPSo results.

As part of their experiences on OSS, IPA CC already shares a database about migration and efficiently use of OSS (OSS iPedia). In addition, soon they will provide to OSS developers users a testing environment fully accessible through Internet. (see OSS Open Lab description).

In 2010, IPA will attend several events, so maybe you will have the opportunity to meet with them:

• IPAX 2010 (Jun. 2010)
• Ruby World Conference (Sep. 2010)
• North East Asia OSS Promotion Forum 2010 (Sep. 2010)
• IPA Forum (Oct. 2010)

Anyway if you need contact with them, don’t hesitate to ask for additional details.

From Morfeo Competence Centre, we want to welcome IPA CC.
