This show is over (for now)!
On September 15, 2008
Singapore hosted Open Everything, a 1/2 day conversation about the art, science and spirit of 'open'.
The conversation will cover, well, everything. Qualifier: the 'thing' in question is built using openness, participation and self-organization. There are people coming to talk about open technology, media, education, GCSE coursework, worplace design, philanthropy, public policy and even politics. These people want to tell you what their doing and find out what you're up to. And they'd like to have supper with you. That's why they're coming to Open Everything. For a little more on what we mean and why it matters, check the proceedings from Open Everything events in Toronto and Cape Town.
