Open Source City
Public Group active 3 months, 3 weeks agoA group who wish to help with the delivering of Open Source City
Open Source City is a ‘permanent festival’ and celebration of an open sharing of creative and disruptive thinking, information and technology use to change the way our world works, artists, technologists, thinkers and makers radical and conservative.
We say permanent because we want this to be a supportive platform for the amazing stuff that goes on already in the city that has a connection to the idea of open information: so open data, open source software, open hardware, open collaboration, open source swan pedalos. We dont want to be the best festival in the world we want it to be about sustaining and commissioning new work in the city and sharing it on a public platform.
Making Liverpool a more open place to live, work, play and breathe.
It aims to:
• Make Liverpool a centre of openness and creative thinking
• Highlight amazing work by artists and creatives across the city
• Encourage a sharing of information and innovation
• Create events that challenge traditional thinking
• Encourage radical and disruptive thinking and approaches
• Be open
Open Source City (OSC) is a ‘permanent festival’ and celebration of the open sharing of creative and disruptive thinking to change the way our city works.
Artists, technologists, thinkers and makers, both radical and conservative will show how the opening up of data and information are changing society and culture.
In the summer of 2012 Open Source City will take place through a diverse range of partnerships and venues across the city.

Open Source City: 1 year, 6 months agoThat sounds great. It would be really good to get this sort of thing running as part of Open Source City. Expand it beyond circuit boards and program code.
