Workshop Dates: May 6&7, 2010
Agenda
This is a collaborative online space dedicated to the forthcoming edited volume on Open Development through the application of ICTs. It is also the online resource for the upcoming IDRC-sponsored workshop titled Open Development: Technological, organizational and social innovations transforming the developing world to be held in Ottawa, Canada in May, 2010.
Subject to further peer review, a subset of papers (selected from a recent Call for Papers) will be published in an edited volume through a commercial publisher. Quality permitting, a select few will be nominated for further peer review and potential publication in the open journal Information Technologies and International Development. Papers that are not included in the book or journal will be included in an open access working paper series.
Below you will find links to the abstracts and many of the pre-review first drafts selected from the Call for Papers.
