From the website:
On 6 November 2008, London will host an Open Everything event, a
global 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-organisation.
There are people coming to talk about open technology, media,
education, workplace design, philanthropy, public policy and even
politics. These people want to tell you what they're doing and find
out what you're up to. And they'd like to have lunch with you.
If you're interested in 'open', it'd be great to see you there!
