Jukka Hornborg, Chairman of the board, COSS ry - The Finnish Centre for Open Systems and Solutions / Unit Manager, Ixonos Plc

Jukka Hornborg is tightly involved with open source software development and business both through his work at Ixonos and at COSS. At Ixonos Jukka has especially been involved with Mobile Operating Systems based on Linux. Ixonos strives to utilize Open Source Software in its projects and products as much as possible and its main clients are mobile phone and chipset manufacturers and operators. Thanks to this Jukka has had a very interesting front-row seat in watching the development of the Open Source in Mobile starting from Maemo and Moblin through MeeGo to Android and Tizen and now maybe even the re-birth of MeeGo. Through his work as a Production/Unit Manager he has an interesting view on using Open Source Software both from the business and the software projects’ perspective.
