Open Source. To promote a fruitful debate of the merits of open source software and to provide information to Danish software user that will enable them to make informed choices with respect to open source vs. proprietary software (or other models for that matter), I took the initiative in the spring of 2002 to set an informal forum where people from Danish businesses and public agencies and institutions could meet to discuss the implications of open source and exchange experiences. Peter Toft of SSLUG, Jesper Laisen of Foreningen Fri Software og Kim Østrup of IBM Danmark have been very encouraging and helpful in setting up Open Source Forum.
