CIPA takes part in Real World Linux 2004

Two employees from CIPA�s technical team; Marc L�ger, technical adviser and Jean-Ren� Cormier, Webmaster, attented the Real World Linux event in Toronto, April 13,14 and 15, 2004. The two CIPA representatives attended several conferences and workshops, and had the opportunity of visiting the exhibits gallery presenting Linux products such as IBM, Novell and Red Hat.

According to Marc L�ger, one of the most important ideas being promoted was the �sharing of information and source code disclosure among various companies and organizations, a definite asset in leading edge technology sectors.� Mr. L�ger explains : �An open source company or project contributes to the development of new technologies regardless of its level of success, by sharing its source code and information. It therefore seems quite natural for organizations involved at the international level, such as CIPA, to adopt an open source approach in order to stand out among other companies and organizations using more traditional methods. In doing this, the community would benefit from CIPA�s discoveries and experiences, as the project evolves.�
