Recently, we announced our upcoming OpenForum Academy (OFA) Symposium, an event dedicated to exploring and enhancing the impact of open source technologies on society. The 2024 edition, hosted by the Digital Data Design Institute at Harvard, will take place on 13-14 November in Boston, Massachusetts. For OpenForum Europe (OFE), the symposium has a simple but ambitious aim: to further grow and strenghten the research community focused on the social, political, and economic impact of open source.Â
