So first I send my e-mail I intended for the list to Gordo, then my apology for that intended for him to the list... My e-mail was merely: 'Alison? David? James?' Thanks.

OKCon 2008: London School of Economics, 15th March 2008
by Jonathan Gray 29 Feb '08

# OKCon 2008 - 'Applications and Services' # London School of Economics # 15th March 2008 # home: <http://www.okfn.org/okcon/> # wiki: <http://www.okfn.org/wiki/okcon2008/> In the past few years we've witnessed the rise of web-based services - from social networking sites to online spreadsheet packages. While we have definitions for open software and open knowledge, what is an open service? What kinds of new services can be built using open knowledge? We've seen the growth of successful open knowledge projects - from peer reviewed journals to community edited encyclopaedias - but what impact can open licensing have in education, research and commerce? Does open licensing have benefits for researchers? Is sharing the key to scaling? What kinds of business models are available to open knowledge distributors? How is open knowledge applied in different institutional and professional contexts? There now exists a vast amount of open content and data. What tools are avaiable to analyse and represent this wealth of material? How can we sort, search, store it to increase its availability and visibility? The second Open Knowledge conference will bring together individuals and groups from across the open knowledge spectrum for a day of seminars and workshops around the theme of 'Applications and Services'. Three main sessions will focus on 'Transport and Environment', 'Visualization and Analysis' and 'Education'. We are currently welcoming submissions and suggestions. If you are interested in giving a paper, facilitating or otherwise helping out, please contact info [at] okfn [dot] org. We also encourage early registration as space is limited!
