Welcome to 2008! The first Silicon Valley Mobile Monday of the year is going to focus on open source in mobile:

• What: January 2008 Mobile Monday (Open Source)
• When: January 7th, 2008 7:00pm
• Where: Microsoft SV Campus, 1065 La Avenida St. Building 1, Mountain View, CA 94043
• Who: Anyone interested in mobility
• Cost: Nothing!

There’s been a lot of overall discussion recently about open source, open standards, and open platforms. I’m a personal believer in openness in general and open source in particular as major forces in the evolution of mobility. We’ll hear from a few folks who have been involved with open source in mobile for a while and get their take on what the role of open source has and will be, and why there’s been such a surge in interest recently.

Hope everyone is having a great start to 2008, see you next week! - Mike
