Wealth by copyleft

Creativity in the digital age

3rd Oekonux Conference

Invitation

Project OekonuxRemote link does research on the economical, political and social forms of Free Software. Similar to the development of Free Software, different people with different reasons and different approaches get together in this project to build something new.

Moreover the program of the conference contains the public presentation of the Austrian version of the CreativeCommons license as well as an art project. Please see the program pageRemote link for detailed information.

After the inspiration of the 1stRemote link and 2ndRemote link Oekonux Conference we hope and expect that in an open atmosphere critical voices as much as the enthusiasm of the hackers once more will merge into a creative process. We hope and expect, that again the wide range of presentations contributed by German speaking and international participants will lead to new insights and broader understanding for all. We hope and expect, that as before we will have a lot of fun :-) .
