The first international workshop of FLOSSWorld with participation from all consortium partners (17 in all) will be held in Brussels, with additional participants from their countries, and most likely, observers from the organisations listed as having provided letters of support to the FLOSSWorld project. Registered FLOSSWorld Observers will also participate, and a limited number of places may be available to the general public. For this workshop participation from EU governments, universities, business associations and the European Commission have been be solicited.

Workshop participants will be experts representing the interests of the open source community, government, businesses, researchers and higher education institutes, as appropriate for the workshop questions. Some participants will take a more active role as specific questions are addressed, but in principle all the three research tracks below will be treated in each single workshop.
