The Planet of Free Knowledge
Volker Grassmuck 01.06.2004
The future of the digital commons will be discussed during the
conference Wizards of OS 3
The Wizards of OS 3 (10-12 June 2004, Berliner Congress Center) is
bringing together an interdisciplinary group of leading scholars and
practitioners from the planet of free knowledge. This planet is bustling
with activity. Everywhere there are people creating and exchanging
information, working together to build a solid foundation of free
technology and to erect cathedrals of wisdom -- by all and for all --
such as Wikipedia. Some are labouring to bring science back to its
philosophical foundations: an unencumbered exchange of ideas and the
freedom essential for research and innovation.

Interview with Jimmy Wales, co-founder of the ever-growing online
encyclopedia Wikipedia
Open Content -- the effort of the Online Community to produce freely
available editorial essays, articles, and other forms of writings -- has
become a major success in the realm of Open Source. Pioneer is the Web
based encyclopedia Wikipedia which is supposed reach another milestone
of 300.000 articles soon. The open content forerunner is giving
commercial encyclopedias like Britannica or Encarta a hard time, since
they are loosing customers quickly now.
