Event: Scott McNealy - May 5th - Sharing as a Business Strategy for the Social Sector

Tuesday, April 29. 2008

There's a very interesting event this coming Monday May 5th in DC - Scott McNealy, co-founder and Chairman of Sun Microsystems - speaking on:

Open Source, Open Education and Eco-friendly: Can Sharing Improve Policy?

McNealy will will focus on how ideas of openness and sharing work in business -- and how they can help improve public policy and international development.

McNealy, self-anointed, champion of "sharing," is a forceful voice for open standards and open source; has funded Curriki.org, a collaborative education resources project; and recently announced Sun's OpenEco.org to help reduce greenhouse gases.

Ellen Miller, co-founder and Executive Director of the very innovative Sunlight Foundation, and Forum One's Dave Witzel will be discussants. The Center for Global Development is sponsoring the event, which is free and open to the public.

Monday, May 5, 2008, 11:00am--12:15pm
Hilton Washington Embassy Row, Ambassador Room
2015 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C.

RSVP now and come join the discussion.
