Global Open Movement/Stakeholders


Proposal Objectives Context analysis Stakeholders Programme Logistics Team

A list of the current stakeholders and events in the open movement.

Using the definition of Open Future, the open movement consists of people, communities, and organizations who (1) contribute to shared resources online that are available for everyone to use and reuse, (2) and/or advocate for non-exclusive access and use of information resources[1].

In general, for the event "Global Open Movement" we will emphasise the value of:

  • Open licenses and tools which do not restrict commercial reuse and derivative works.
  • The use of tools, products, services and infrastructures based on open and free software.
  • Processes of engagement of volunteers which consider issues related to inclusion, diversity, privacy and produce resources made available with the principle of the share-alike.
  • No additional restrictions on content under the public domain or not covered by copyright; data in CC0.
