Topic: The Open Source Initiative defines open source as "a development method for software that harnesses the power of distributed peer review and transparency of process. The promise of open source is better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility, lower cost, and an end to predatory vendor lock-in." This session will discuss how this looks (or sometimes doesn't look) in the open source community and how new initiatives can help bolster the open source mindset in the Android community for both the developers and the end-users. Also, he announces the OmniROM project

Speaker: Self-taught in multiple programming languages over the last few years, Guillaume Lesniak (XpLoDWilD) has been involved in numerous closed and open-source projects in various domains related to software engineering, mobile development and game development. Passionate about technology and its evolution, he has been contributing to communities such as Ogre3D (open-source 3D engine) where he has been providing code snippets, CyanogenMod (open-source, aftermarket distribution for Android-powered devices) where he is helping to maintain the software on multiple phones and tablets and develop new apps (like the Focal camera app), as well as providing tools for the community, such as the BBQLog changelog.
