Sponsorship of COSCUP 2016
2016 開源人年會(COSCUP)贊助案 ![]() COSCUP (Conference for Open Source Coders, Users and Promoters) originated with a community agenda of ICOS (International Conference on Open Source) was formed in 2006 to serve mainly the open source community in response to the requirements of ICOS participants. Today, COSCUP has become the largest annual open source conference in Taiwan. COSCUP 2016 was held on August 20 and 21 at the Academia Sinica's Activity Center/ Humanities and Social Sciences Building. This year's theme was "Intermediation: Continuing Legacy, Taking Root, Crossover", focusing on conceptualization, crossover collaboration and continuing resource sharing. The agenda covered a diverse array of topics, including issues related to open source knowledge in business, education and law. Besides the professional agenda, there were family-oriented workshops, allowing participants to engage in hands-on learning and directly apply what they learn. Sharing activities, such as BoF party, also help to inspire ideas and foster cooperation. 開放與分享的概念人類社會自古有之,但落實在資訊領域卻非一路順遂,台灣有幸能擁有相當活躍的開源社群,故本會從2011年開始關注開放源碼相關之大型會議,今年亦對2016開源人年會予以贊助,期待台灣的資訊領域能夠實質改變社會運作的效率,提升國際的能見度,且讓人才有發揮的空間。 Openness and sharing are enduring concepts in human society but their application in the IT world has never been easy. Taiwan is fortunate to have a very active open source community. Since 2011, the ARF has begun paying attention to large open-source related conferences and has even sponsored the COSCUP this year. It is hoped that Taiwan's IT field will effect real change in the operating efficiency of the society, increasing Taiwan's international presence and allowing talents room to develop. |
