Each time more and more activity take place, not in ones personal computer,
but online. However, while it is quiet clear vision on the conditions for a
free and open software, this is not the case on the infrastructure that
support the open online collaboration in the cloud. The workshop will
address the legal, technical, governing and economical conditions for free
and open infrastructure for open infrastructure for open online
collaboration. We will build upon infrastructure working group at the
Fcforum 2010 definition of free and open infrastructure (

aiming to cross and synergy with the work of the open definition of the Open
Knowledge Foundation (http://www.opendefinition.org/software-service/), or
other previous attends (

of the people attending the workshop. Mayo Fuster Morell, Rufus Pollock and
