New consortium seeks to further open software

“opencode.org [is] a new consortium of entrepreneurial people
and institutions wanting to create a space for open software, open
research, and open content. We are planning a meeting in Boston on
May 20, 1999 and invite in-person and electronic participation by
anyone who would like to become part of opencode’s founding.

“We seek to–

  • develop interoperable, open pedagogical
  • software–“H2O”–that can be used for teaching and learning
    over the Net, and for which its code can be viewed and extended by
    anyone in the public interest;
  • be a platform for the use of that software for
  • the production of rich, open educational content;
  • develop new means of open academic research.
