OpenTech 2008

 

OpenTech is an informal, low-cost one-day grassroots event that is organised by UKUUG (UK's Open Systems User Group) every couple of years for people in the UK to get together and talk about digital technology, its impacts on society and - newly added this year - the environment. In previous years the event heard from the founder of the Internet Archive and the man behind BitTorrent, saw the launch of TheyWorkForYou.com, and triggered the creation of the Open Rights Group. They also had a presentation from a chap who'd made a semi-reliable clock out of an old PC and a prawn sandwich, so it's not all serious stuff.

Taking place on 5th July, 2008, in London, the line-up currently features:

  • mySociety
  • No2ID
  • Open Rights Group
