Digital divide conference papers available
Recently we had a conference dealing with several digital divide related topics: citizen participation, free software, biopatents, copyright, and sustainable information society. Some papers are available. Keynotes by Colin Lankshear and Rishab Aiyer Ghosh may be of interest to FLOSS researchers, as well as the papers in the “Open and Collaborative models” session and Tere Vadén’s paper from the IP session. My presentation is missing from the conference site; you can read the slides while I’m finishing my paper. I think the conference was succesful. I met some good people to work with in the future.
Also, hello to people reading Planet FLOSS Research.
Seminar programme available
I’ve mentioned before our seminar on IP and digital divides (14-15 March 2005). The seminar programme is now available, together with abstracts. Keynotes will be given by Colin Lankshear, Rishab Aiyer Ghosh, Avinash Jha,
Wolfgang Kleinwächter and Marjut Salokannel (link in Finnish).
See the web site for information on registration and topics.
Freedom, sustainability and digital divides
We are organising a seminar on freedom and sharing in the global network society. Two key themes of the seminar are “Freedom and Sharing in the Global Network Society” and “Globally Sustainable Information Society”. Some of the topics we hope have presentations about are free software, balance in the copyright regime and network & participation.
