The Open Source Village See: Events !Call for Participation in a session at the "Innovations and Reproductions in Cultures and Societies" (IRICS) Conference in Vienna, 9. - 11. december 2005 by Franz Nahrada
!!see information about the conference here!!"Not only scholars and scientists from the most varied disciplines have been invited to this conference, but also politicians, artists, teachers, etc. The main goal is to study knowledge together in a new way"!Section 2/4http://www.inst.at/irics/sektionen_n-s/nahrada.htm !The Open Source VillageThe goal of this section is to give room to a lot of transcultural processes of cooperation - namely, with the means of electronic media that enable people all over the world to improve and strengthen their local circumstance and duality of life by pooling know how, models, algorithms for autonomous use. We invite especially people from peripheral, isolated and rural areas to show what they could achieve or would like to achieve by sharing knowledge with people in similar circumstances.
Can we even team up with governments and industries, when we realize that the current economic system is highly unsustainable? And if so - what will be the new social covenant? Is it useful and helpful to say that the village faces unexpected retrieval and renaissance as a place of local cooperation with global support? And if yes: what will those Global Villages of the 21st century look like? Are there possibly some already in existence? !
