University of Openess

The University of Openess (UO) was a user-led facility of learning and research with its first campus at Limehouse Town Hall, London, and its first online presence at [http://uo.twenteenthcentury.com]. The UO ran a core curriculum and regular classes, and had several faculties which included the Faculty of Unix (which ran a free weekly class), the Faculty of Cartography (which staged the Cartographic Congress, May- June 2003), the Faculty of Physical Education (bi- weekly/ish urban exploration and training), the Faculty of Education (ran the Arted mailing list) and the Faculty of Collaborative Research (which kept a log of inter-faculty conflicts).
