The Zambia Open Business 2.0 will be launching soon. I have just completed an extensive research project into 'open' business-models that don't rely on overbroad copyright/patent/trademark rights or are based on free/open source software and open content under Creative Commons licenses.
The platform will be hosted by ning.com , which is built around openness, free services and free access. Developer licence is pending, but you can register in advance inorder to familiarise yourself with the service.
The publishing software which this site will use has been developed by the Public Knowledge Project which is freely distributing such systems to develop greater public and scholarly access to research. The Public Knowledge Project has offered free, open source software for the management and publishing of journals and conferences. 'Open Journal Systems' and 'Open Conference Systems' are being used in various places around the world to reduce publishing costs, improve management, enhance indexing, and increase access to knowledge on a global scale.
Zambia Open Business 2.0 is a platform for sharing innovative Open Business ideas - entrepreneurial ideas which means that the research on this website is freely available to all users on a global basis. This is an ambitious project dealing with social cultural development, technology I hope you will support the ideas and ideals behind the project by registering your ideas and comments.
