As information tools become ubiquitous and closely connected to the quality of life and prosperity of individual people, individual communities, and individual countries, a more engaged, active role for people, communities, and countries in the creation of these societal tools must emerge. Societal technologies insufficiently flexible to accommodate connection-making activities among all members adversely affect the whole of society. How is the peer production model of open source contributing to a new societal organization form? How can citizens at risk become co-designers of societal communication networks? 9:30 AM Coffee 9:55 AM Welcome - Susan Turnbull, Sr. Program Advisor, GSA and George Brett, Chief Information Architect, End-to-End Performance, Internet2 10:00 AM Earth's 911: Building Blocks for a Public Code Commons Over the Past Decade: Principles of Chaordic Organizations and Open Source , Chris Warner, President, www.earth911.org 10:40 AM Section 508 Overview, Craig Holcomb, Technical Director, National Security Agency 11:20 AM Open Source and Section 508: Introduction to GNOME Accessibility Framework, Mark Mulcahy, GNOME Accessibility Project, Sun Microsystems, Inc. 12:00 PM GNOME: Building Blocks for Peer Production Networks, Nat Friedman, one of the founders of GNOME 12:40 PM Who is Here?
