School of Open, Creative Commons, P2PU, Open Knowledge Foundation, FLOSS Manuals Foundation

The School of Open is a community of volunteers focused on providing free education opportunities on the meaning, application, and impact of “openness” in the digital age and its benefit to creative endeavors, education, research, and more. Volunteers develop and run online courses, real world workshops, and training programs on topics such as Creative Commons licenses, open educational resources, and sharing creative works.

The School of Open is coordinated by Creative Commons, a globally focused nonprofit dedicated to making it easier for people to share and build upon the work of others, consistent with the rules of copyright, and P2PU, an active peer learning platform and community for developing and running free online courses.

The Open Knowledge Foundation (OKF) is a non-profit organisation founded in 2004 and dedicated to promoting open data and open content in all their forms – including government data, publicly funded research and public domain cultural content.

The FLOSS Manuals Foundation is a collection of different language communities that produce educational materials about Free Software using innovative collaborative tools and processes.
