The Future of the Web

What will it be? We are going to be discussing the future of the web at OPEN 09 with particular emphasis on the implications of open source and the advancement of virtual environments. We would like to hear your views on this so please join the discussion online and if you can make it on the 16th / 17th November then we’ll see you there. We are working with Creative Lancashire to create our turtle discussing the above topics and will be joined on the day by speakers from across the region to give their views.

For us the implications of open source are huge – easy access, a large development community, open IP, self regulation, etc but also quite scary to the traditional media. In terms of virtual environments we will be exploring their use today and in the future and if they are the real driver of 3D on the web. Looking at the different uses of virtual environments we will look at the differences between consumer and corporate uses and also how virtual learning environments are becoming a hot topic in education.
