Revision as of 14:57, 24 July 2008
The first ever conference of the Open Sustainability Network!
This is a BarCamp style conference about free content and knowledge sharing in sustainability, international development, appropriate technology and solutions to poverty. It is open to all those interested in these issues.
Where, when?
San Francisco, Saturday and Sunday, October 18-19, 2008.
- facilities at San Francisco State University, with a main conference room seating 375 and several break out rooms. Many thanks to David.reber for the persistence in booking this facility.
Daytime schedule: 8am to 4pm at the SFSU facility. Various group meetings around San Francisco after hours and on
Who should come?
