Open Up Event to Discuss Implementing Open Source in Society

Open UP is a speaking/discussion forum for people to share their projects and learn how using open source principles and Creative Commons licenses can help them to more effectively collaborate with other like-minded people to build better businesses, lives and communities.

Each Open UP event will feature a variety of speakers who will each get five minutes to present their project and five minutes for Q&A.

All talks will then be uploaded to the Open UP archive for the world to see. After the talks there will be an open discussion where people can network and learn more about incorporating open source ideas and principles into their work. This project is an extremely exciting opportunity for cross pollination and discussion of Open Source Ideals. 

Come and join us for the first Open Up Speakers forum on Wednesday, August 18, where we will explore open source ideals can supply solutions to real world problems. Talks will focus on education, maker spaces, social networks, global community building, and open business models. Visit our site, where we will be posting the video's from the evening as well as other information pertaining to the project.

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to see you at the first Open Up.
