Bringing relevant parties together provides the opportunity to:
- Discuss what "Open" means -- is it only text? pictures? ideas? Intellectual property? Patents?
- Identify existing initiatives, and learn from successes and failures.
- Identify existing tools - Their advantages and disadvantages
- Perform a gap analysis and identify opportunities for collaboration -- NGOs, community based orgs (CBOs), individuals, academics, "repositories and collaboration sites", donors, governments, churches, for-profit entities offering DIY kits and AT, etc,.
- Identify a broader network of practitioners with experience in online collaboration
- Enlist support of additional parties to build the network and scale up impact.
- Establish short and long term goals for effectively implementing an Open Sustainability Network
- Determine means of quality control and quality assurance - potential rating dimensions, raters, accrediting test labs,
Workshop #1: Online Education
Goal: Develop a framework for online course hosting at the Open Sustainability Network.
One of the goals of the Open Sustainability Network is to build a unified collection of relevant online tools and practices to help students and teachers build effective programs in appropriate technology and social entrepreneurship. Specifically, the OSN is focused on impacting the training of future innovators and managers who will need to effectively tackle a set of profound global challenges through the creation, commercialization and institutionalization of sustainable enterprise and clean technologies.
Workshop #2: Collaborative Taxonomies
Goal: Develop a system of taxonomies to classify and share technologies, implementation efforts, projects, educational resources, impacts and community information. Define methods of collaboration.
Workshop #3: Online Publications
Goal: Define best practices in online publications. In particular this workshop will determine how to best navigate copyright and patent law and the best methods for encouraging open source appropriate technology in a range of contexts.
