Dear All, This a very relevant topic of the conference. In-fact LIS professionals should actively involve themselves with this "Open" Mantra ( as Dr. ARD Prasad puts it - Open Source, Open Access, Open Standards). BTW, on 24 September 2009, I presented a keynote paper on this very theme i.e. Open Source Software in Libraries at NACLIN 2009, PU Chandigarh <http://www.naclin.org/conference_Presentation24.html> My presentation is also available from my Slideshare Account (as usual) - http://www.slideshare.net/sukhi/open-source-software-in-libraries Hope it would help prospective authors of the conference.
