Sarah Pullman of Web of Change asked me to let you all know about the upcoming Open Everything Retreat September 3-6 at Hollyhock on Cortes Island in British Columbia.

She writes:

"The goal is to gather the brightest minds that think about and play with "open". The coders. The educators. The activists. We want to know what is and isn't working,   what it all does and doesn't have in common, and what can we learn from one another. This is, to our knowledge, the first effort to look at open across fields. Building on this, we want to know what are the common threads and what are the opportunities for open. Is open a movement? A methodology? An ideal? All of these things? Let's have an open debate."

The retreat is open to anyone who is working in an "open" way, and will have three tracks: 1. the meaning of open, 2. open leadership, and 3. examples of open.

You can find more information, and a draft agenda on the Open Everything Retreat wiki. If you have questions, contact gang@openeverything.net.
