2010 Version

For its 3rd edition expected for the 1st of Oct 2010 during Open World Forum, 2020 FLOSS Roadmap is developing  3 major themes:

  1. FLOSS as Commons: what is the way, what are the actions for having FLOSS acknowledged globally as a strategic and crucial common for knowledge society? Is FLOSS paving the way for bigger initiatives and larger variety of commons?
    Director of Theme: David Bollier

  2. BRIC countries: how BRIC are using IT in their growth and how could they build larger projects joining forces on a collaborative mode? Will BRIC be the emerging leaders of useful and wealthy technological innovations? How FLOSS may help?
    Director of Theme: Michael Tiemann

  3. Openness and freedom in Cloud Computing: will FLOSS ethics survive to privatization of key open source components by cloud suppliers? Will the nature of FLOSS stay unchanged or will evolve?
    Director of Theme: Philippe Aigrain

All Drafted documents are now open for comments!

Of course on each topics, we are expecting contradictory debates enabling smart analysis of the situation. We are also expecting recommendations from experts in order for the initial 2020 FLOSS roadmap to become a reality.

Call for contribution and comment is open until early September.
