Wind River's John Fanelli to Speak at the Open Source Business Conference 2005 ALAMEDA, Calif., March 28 /PRNewswire/ -- WHAT: John Fanelli, vice president of product planning and management for Wind River, will join other industry experts to discuss the opportunities and obstacles presented by the emergence of open source in the mobile enterprise. Attendees will learn about the increasing number of mobile devices connecting into enterprise networks and the implications this has for the market. The panel discussion will shed light on the business models and buying patterns that will drive market consolidation and domination. WHERE: Westin St. Francis Hotel 335 Powell Street San Francisco, CA 94102 WHEN: Tuesday, April 5, 2005 11:30 a.m. - 12:20 p.m. PT WHY: The line between the enterprise and traditional embedded systems markets has blurred. Dramatically. Embedded, a fragmented, roll-your-own market that has traditionally been shunned by venture capitalists and difficult to master is increasingly the place to place big bets. Enterprise value is moving to mobile, and often poorly secured, devices at the edge of the network. Appliances, such as set-top boxes, are assuming greater functionality, and this industry shift is increasingly putting pressure on developers to differentiate their devices through software.
