Wind River's John Fanelli to Speak at the Open Source Business Conference 2005

Wind River's John Fanelli to Speak at the Open Source Business
Conference 2005 


ALAMEDA, Calif., March 28  /PRNewswire/ -- 

  WHAT:   John Fanelli, vice president of product planning and management
          for Wind River, will join other industry experts to discuss the
          opportunities and obstacles presented by the emergence of open
          source in the mobile enterprise. Attendees will learn about the
          increasing number of mobile devices connecting into enterprise
          networks and the implications this has for the market. The panel
          discussion will shed light on the business models and buying
          patterns that will drive market consolidation and domination.

  WHERE:  Westin St. Francis Hotel
          335 Powell Street
          San Francisco, CA 94102

  WHEN:   Tuesday, April 5, 2005
          11:30 a.m. - 12:20 p.m. PT

  WHY:    The line between the enterprise and traditional embedded systems
          markets has blurred. Dramatically. Embedded, a fragmented,
          roll-your-own market that has traditionally been shunned by
          venture capitalists and difficult to master is increasingly the
          place to place big bets. Enterprise value is moving to mobile, and
          often poorly secured, devices at the edge of the network.
          Appliances, such as set-top boxes, are assuming greater
          functionality, and this industry shift is increasingly putting
          pressure on developers to differentiate their devices through
          software.
