The Big Open: How do we make the open internet revolution irresistible?

Nicole Ebber, Alek Tarkowski, Kasia Odrozek In this session, we’d
like to work with a wide range of participants from the free and
open scene. We are aiming to identify synergies between
organizations and networks, to carve out common goals, and discuss
forms of collaboration. We welcome everyone who is interested in
working together to foster the ties between different Open Movement
players. The session itself will be 60 mins long and – after a
brief introduction – be interactive instead of lecture style. In
smaller groups, we’ll be discussing three major questions: How do
we make the open internet revolution irresistible? How do we build
the community of the open? And how, as activists of the free and
open web, do we talk to non-technologists about our world? Our goal
is to find out how we can create the Big Open - together. We would
like to map opportunities, ideas and thoughts for a more
collaborative future. Insights from this session will feed into
broader discussions (e.g. at the Creative Commons Global Summit
https://summit.creativecommons.org/) and strategy processes (e.g.
Wikimedia 2030 http://2030.wikimedia.org) that we will be
conducting over the coming months.
