The Power of Open Technology - How Linux and Other Open Technologies Increase Opportunities For All
This episode’s unusually well informed guest is Evan Leibovitch.
The world is increasingly shaped by exponentially more powerful technologies. Evan and I discuss the many ways that open technology and policy can harness those technologies for a world that is both abundant and just.
Evan has experience in governance, communications strategy, relationship building and policy development. He has built and grown organizations which have promoted the sharing society through open source, open access, open standards, open government and other initiatives. Evan’s work has promoted consumer rights and improved Internet governance.
Evan’s diverse career has taken him around the world. Working for the UN he led a program that provides Internet access to refugees.
