This year’s Bangalore Literature Festival will have a session dedicated to Gyana Satyagraha or Peaceful Movement for Free and Open Access to Public Data, inspired by Gandhi’s ideals that fuelled the struggle for Independence.
U.S.-based technologist and public domain advocate Carl Malamud will speak on Gyana Satyagraha, a movement being carried out silently by advocates of free data.
Mr. Malamud is the founder of Public Resource, a foundation battling for free access to public data and standards.
