Description
Excerpted from the website description:
- The Open Forest Consortium exists to promote and extend the open development model in Portland, the Northwest, and the world. The open and cooperative nature of open source development makes it a uniquely viable organizing principle to reach beyond technology. The power of collaboration, enabled by the Internet and open source software, is changing the world in ways we're just beginning to imagine. The way software, news, music, art and much else in our "knowledge economy" is produced, distributed and used is evolving rapidly and radically. A rising tide of creative collaborators are leading the way. The best part is their creative output isn't set in stone, or hampered by onerous patents, licenses, copyrights or other limits to accessibility, but is free to evolve into entirely new directions., The Open Forest Consortium exists to promote and extend the open source development model in Portland, the Northwest, and the world. The open and cooperative nature of the open source model makes it a uniquely viable organizing principle to reach beyond technology development. Open Forest seeks to apply the open and cooperative strengths inherent in the open source development model toward new political, economic, legislative and social innovations. Our mission is to leverage the power of the open source to help bring about a more meritorious, egalitarian, open and democratic society.
