AppHub is the European Open Source marketplace. AppHub identifies and positions software components within the Open Cloud Directory to help users find and implement the software outcomes of your projects more easily. Open source software is a powerful enabler for collaborative innovation. However, making the source available does not automatically attract contributors or grant immediate market access. AppHub is designed to provide an distribution channel that addresses these issues, making it easier for open source projects to connect with their potential markets. Essentially, AppHub brings the market to you. This presentation will provide an overview of AppHub and help OW2 project leaders understand how they can participate in, and benefit from, the AppHub marketplace.
