Wizards of OS 3 - The Future of the Digital Commons

Wizards of OS 3
The Future of the Digital Commons
June 10 - 12, 2004
Berlin Congress Center
http://wizards-of-os.org/
 
In two weeks, the international conference Wizards of OS 3 will be held in
the Berlin Congress Center. For three days, 100 specialists from 23
countries will be considering and exchanging views on the future of our
digital commons. Programmers, artists, scientists and activists will
present their projects, conduct workshops and discuss with participants
ways in which free software, free content, free networks and open archives
can be productively applied towards a new order of knowledge.
                                                                                                                                               
WOS 3 will present examples of successful projects which share this aim,
examples that may inspire emulation and further development, such as
Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, and the Simputer, with its free
hardware design. Just as our natural environment survives only due to
the efforts of a now powerful movement, our digital environment needs
similar protection from privatization. Addressing the global challenge
to a united movement for the freedom of knowledge will be, among others,
Lawrence Lessig, founder of the Creative Commons initiative,
Charlotte Hess, commons researcher, and Eben Moglen, professor of law
and author of the GPL.
