My utopia is freedom, openness and cooperation of free people in an open society. I’m looking for people and projects focussing on concepts of freedom, openness and cooperation in theory and practice. Freedom of expression, freedom of information, open access, open data, open government, open standards and open sources as well as a free [free like freedom, not like free beer] and open access to knowledge, education and our intellectual, cultural and economic commons are the prerequisites of a free and open society. Let’s push things forward!
