Call for Participation OpenSym 2014

OpenSym 2014 will start in a few days on August 27, 2014! Participants can expect a program full of research and community events, including open space, where participants get to form their own program and follow their interests. Four keynotes / invited talks will lead the program and set the stage for the breadth of research and practice of open collaboration:

Stef van Grieken (Google) on
“Let’s build the road network of civic tech”
Laura Hilliger and Michelle Thorne (both of Mozilla Foundation) on
“How you run a meeting says a lot about your values: Participatory Practices for Open Communities”
Daniel Kinzler and Lydia Pintscher (both of Wikimedia Deutschland) on
“Wikidata: How we brought structured data to Wikipedia”
Klaas-Jan Stol (Lero) on
