The Linux Foundation is pleased to announce the opening of registration and call for papers for the 4th Annual Collaboration Summit which will take place April 14-16, 2010 in San Francisco.
Presented by platinum sponsors Intel and IBM, the Collaboration Summit is an exclusive, invitation-only gathering of the brightest minds in Linux, including core kernel developers, distribution maintainers, ISVs, end users, system vendors and other community organizations. It is the only conference designed to accelerate collaboration and encourage solutions by bringing together a true cross-section of leaders to meet face-to-face to tackle the most pressing issues facing Linux today.
Topics for this year’s Collaboration Summit will include high performance computing, legal issues and cross-community/cross-industry collaboration. The agenda will be finalized and posted on our website in the coming weeks. As in past years, this event is limited to only
300 people, and will fill up quickly.
The Annual Collaboration Summit will be co-located again this year with the CELF Embedded Linux Conference. The winner of the 2nd Annual Linux Foundation Video Contest will also be revealed at the summit, where the winning video and honorable mentions will be screened for
the event’s attendees.
Abstract:
Purpose – The paper aims to increase our understanding of an under-investigated research area of consumption, that is, cosmopolitanism as a consumer orientation.
Design/methodology/approach – About 16 informants, either Australians who had worked or studied overseas, or expatriates residing in Australia, participated in a qualitative research study. Analysis was an iterative process involving textual interpretation of interview transcripts and photographs supplied by informants.
Findings – Support is found for Thompson and Tambyah's idea that a cosmopolitan consumer orientation comprises dominant masculine and counter-veiling feminine traits. Contradicting Thompson and Tambyah, the study validates Cannon and Yaprak's idea that a cosmopolitan consumer orientation simultaneously embraces maintaining close ties to their cultural roots and seeking to consume products from other cultures. Additional aspects of cosmopolitanism are identified, including the benefits of expatriate enclaves and difficulties upon returning home.
Research limitations/implications – Theory validation arises as a consequence of finding partial support for past findings. Theory generation manifests as suggested modifications to extant theory and identification of additional aspects of cosmopolitanism as a consumer orientation.
Practical implications – Understanding cosmopolitanism as a consumer orientation has implications for understanding consumption of culturally distant products.
Originality/value – The paper offers foundations for future research into an increasingly significant aspect of consumption.

Cross cultural businesses have arrived on our door-step but have these companies been through our cultural awareness program in person. I doubt it, but we except excellent forward destined initiatives as fair comment and on most cases accurate. Our platform operates on most levels, this is our awareness and source for information without invitation, more as mission executives. is this a game of chess or actual precision engineering results from continuous progressive researchers.
