Since the webpage is for now a little sparse on what the Forum will exactly be

http://www.openexpo.ch/open-source-forum-2010/

I think we have time to brainstorm on what we could propose. Most
likely there will be talks and booths, but the exact format is not
communicated yet.
What I liked is the description of the Themes they have in mind:

Qoute from the website (in German):

Themen-Schwerpunkte:

*Strategischer Einsatz von Open Source Software

*Identifizierung und Evaluation von Produkten

*Beschaffung von Dienstleistungen und Knowhow

*Wartungsmodelle und Service Level Agreements

*Open Source-Produkte in business-kritischen Umgebungen

*Erfolgreiche Beispiele in unterschiedlichen Branchen

*Typische organisatorische und rechtliche Aspekte

*Erprobte Open Source Solution Stacks

*Was die Software-Branche von Open Source Communities lernen kann

*Best Practices des Open Source Entwicklungsmodells: Quality
Assurance, Software-Wiederverwendung, agile Entwicklungsmethoden, etc.

*Aufbau und Management von Open Source Projekten

*Erfolgreiche Business Models mit Open Source Software

/endquote

I think it could also be really interesting for businesses who use KDE
Software in their everyday work. Since many of our members work and do
a living with KDE Software and Qt, this would be a great platform to
show and present their work.
