From: foebud-info@BIONIC.zerberus.de Subject: PD92: (7.2.99) Wizards of OS Date: Fri, 05 Feb 1999 01:54:30 +0100 PUBLIC DOMAIN V92.0 on Sunday, 7.2.1999: Wizards of OS Volker Grassmuck on operating systems as public domain of society "On the occasion of the current debate on Microsoft and Linux, "Wizards of OS" will check out the meaning of operating systems as the basis of the "information society" of today. Focal points of the event will be the functioning of operating systems, their connections to social systems (politics, economy, culture, education etc.) and the alternatives to MS operating systems." Volker Grassmuck will present the ideas behind the congress "Wizards of OS" (OS = operating system) which will take place in Berlin in July 1999. This event - meanwhile even supported by the Berlin Senate of Commerce - will bring together people who want to work on solutions of independant platforms for the development of a communication society. Volker Grassmuck is member of mikro e.V. (www.mikro.org) and collaborator of Professor Wolfgang Coy at the "Institute for informatics in education and society" at the Humboldt University in Berlin. By the way: Our series of events called "PUBLIC DOMAIN" is usually not dedicated to the software of the same name, but the name itself is program: We want to present a wide range of interesting and visionary topics, of which we think that they concern everybody, and we want to create a place of open exchange. But with the topic of this month the name fits also in the direct sense...
