Open Minds Award 2017
From Wikipedia and Creative Commons through to Edubuntu, thousands of people around the globe work to develop humanity’s collective knowledge and expertise, providing immense added value for us all. Indeed, without open source we wouldn’t even have the Internet. Though Austria’s home-grown open source communities are successful and very active, they also receive very little recognition. To remedy this, such communities have come together for the first time to create the Open Minds Award, recognising the best players and projects in three main categories: Open Software, Open Hardware and Open Data.
What’s more, as Identum has long been a key player in the open source sphere – particularly as part of the Drupal Austria team – we also shared our expertise to assist the Open Minds Award. We worked to develop the corporate identity, assisted in overall communication and developed the awards concept and helped to organise the event.
As an agency, we’re convinced that if the open source approach can be given a positive image, it will be easier to embed it in the minds of the public and ensure it is afforded the respect and attention it deserves.
