The first Free Open Source Software Academia (FOSSa) Conference has been organised by INRIA (Technological Development Department) & OW2 Europe Local Chapter in Grenoble-France on 17th and 18th of november 2009 .

This conference aim's were:

• foster anyone who would like to create, sustain and transfer an OSS project from his laboratory to the industrial world in a more productive manner;
• help start-ups and companies to find answers to overcome Open Source “constraints” within their environment and better understand the OSS culture;
• enable academia and industrials to meet, talk together and find synergies between research projects and industrial needs;
• provide a free expression room where OSS Academic, Research and OSS Start-up's team can present their projects;
• show the benefits of the participation in a collaborative network aiming at increasing the value of academic results, gathering them in a common environment, and releasing them in Open Source.
