Argentina 2001

We envision a different world, in which the ubiquity of information networks and technology

allows us to build cooperative communities, service-centered economies, virtual

organizations, a more fair society and provide much more freedom to people, through

continuous interaction and social exchange of information and knowledge.

Openware will be one of the catalysts of this change, which will lead to the realization of our vision.
