Sponsored in part by OSI, this conference provides a platform for analysis and discussion, resulting in concrete proposals for sustainable models for open collaboration in creative domains. The conference will draw on the experience of First Monday as the foremost online, peer-reviewed academic journal, covering these issues since May 1996. Not only has First Monday published numerous papers by leading scholars on the topics of open collaboration, open access, and open content in its various forms, it is itself an example of open collaboration in practice: for nearly a decade, the journal has been published on a purely voluntary basis, with no subscription fees, advertising, sponsorship or other revenues.
