Hello all, Many of you have been involved in the making of 'The Open Book' < http://theopenbook.org.uk>, a crowdsourced publication that introduces the global movement for open knowledge, and its accompanying 'Timeline of Open Knowledge' <http://openbook.okfn.org/timeline> built from your contributions.
To reward your hard work, we have some good news -- The Open Book has now been published, and will be launched in both print and digital versions at the FutureEverything festival <http://futureeverything.org/> this Fri 22 March: <http://blog.okfn.org/2013/03/18/theopenbook/>. A bit of context: this ambitious project has been built jointly with our friends at The Finnish Institute in London as a part of their critical Reaktio series < http://www.finnish-institute.org.uk/en/articles/47-reaktio-series>. Inspired by the many inspiring projects we saw at the world’s first Open Knowledge Festival this fall in Helsinki <http://okfestival.org>, The Open Book explores the social and technological manifestations of the open knowledge movement for the first time, featuring over 25 in-depth thought pieces written by pioneers of openness around the world from London to São Paulo. Launch details: <http://blog.okfn.org/2013/03/18/theopenbook/> Those who can't make it to the launch can also sign up for a free copy: < http://openbook.okfn.org/#register> Please share widely with friends and colleagues. It is our hope that The Open Book can serve as a launching pad for discussion and debate -- and the more it is shared, the more it can serve this purpose! With many thanks to all who made it happen, Kat, Jussi, Timo, Antti and The Open Book team ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Kat Braybrooke | @kat_braybrooke <http://twitter.com/kat_braybrooke> | Local Groups <http://okfn.org/local> | Open Design<http://design.okfn.org/> | The Open Book <http://theopenbook.org.uk/> | The Open Knowledge Foundation <http://okfn.org/>
