Also see on facebook http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=118888155123 -- Open Source concept in the general market Open source is recently now becoming a philosopy/marketing concept and shortly you can describe as this: Made by you; made for you. The decades directly after the big wars were based on protection not sharing. Especially the manufacturing companies were protecting their trade marks and or patents with fanatic efforts. Still you see this. But more and more the idea gets more and more attention and support that research and development should be more open -- especially with the NEW TOOL 'INTERNET'. A good example for the open source idea is the free availabe linux-software: like Ubuntu; Fedora; Suse and much more. And fortunately a lot of more software: PHP; HTML; MYSQL; Postgresql; FTP Open Office Gimp a whole list of generally unknown software. Imagine how many people contribute though internet to develop these software which now used DAILY. But let us do some exploration in other areas: Like fashion; cars on fuel cells; food. New vision: Open Source. Time will prove it will survive but to my perspective it is in fact the most democratic way of research and development. By everyone; for everyone. Not a few "isolated" academics in a labority. No...the people in their homes -- among them of course a great deal of academics / higher educated people. It is a new concept. And........last and not least people can discover for themselves their talents.
