I’m very pleased to say that I’ve been invited to join CIO.com’s first Executives Online discussion panel, Open Source in the Enterprise, this week. As the starter post explains, the event is a virtual round table discussion bringing together a number of open source executives, and me, to discuss the enterprise adoption of open source software between today and Friday June 6.

It promises to be an interesting discussion, and CIO.com has been good enough to give us some starting discussions points with its survey of attitudes towards open source in the CIO community. I’ll be posting more details here as the discussion evolves.
The panel includes:
Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation
Joe ‘Zonker’ Brockmeier, Novell SUSE Evangelist
Bernard Golden, CIO blogger about open source issues
SugarCRM’s CIO, Lila Tretikov
SpringSource CEO Rod Johnson
Fabrizio Capobianco, the CEO of Funambo
Dominic Sartorio, president of the Open Solutions Alliance
Brian Gentile, president and CEO of JasperSoft
Bob Zurek, CTO at EnterpriseDB
WaveMaker CEO Chris Keene
Marten Mickos, the former CEO of MySQL and now the head of Sun’s database group
Jon Ferraiolo, leader of the OpenAJAX Alliance
Ira Heffan, legal counsel for TopCoder
Ron Gula, developer of Dragon IDS and the CEO of Tenable Network Security
Bob Sutor, the vice president of Standards and Open Source at IBM
