Open Source and Sustainability was a 3-day conference exploring the theme of open source sustainability held on 10-12 April 2006 at the Said Business School.

  • universities and colleges entangling their infrastructure and pedagogical environments with open source software
  • software development projects seeking to perpetuate themselves through building communities
  • businesses basing their sustainability on an open source business model
