[okfn-discuss] A Free, Libre and Open Glossary (OpenSym / WikiSym in Hong Kong)

Sat Jul 13 12:08:49 UTC 2013

The programme for OpenSym / WikiSym has a session on Free, Libre and Open
Source Software. Maybe some of the will be interested.

http://opensym.org/wsos2013/

I'm uncomfortable with the whole idea of a conference on openness that is
quite expensive for most people.  I expect people will respond with saying
the conference cannot be 'free'.  Well, why not?  It would have been
possible to have a conference in Hong Kong that was free but just not in a
complex with a 5-star hotel.

US$530 / $220 for 3 days
US$180 for 1 days
US$60 for 1 afternoon
