Last February 11th, 'The SNOW knowledge forum' opened with the title “Learn from the Open World - Show Your Knowledge to the World”. This forum was held for the purpose of addressing the situation and problems of Korea’s Web 2.0-based open culture and discussing a new direction for Koreans.
This SNOW forum introduced new media such as panel discussion and open discussion, in order for presenters and attendees to speak freely and share their wide range of thoughts on open culture, something they couldn’t have done in a one-way forum, in which presenters usually explain while the audience simply listens.
To start things off, Jong-su Yoon, the senior judge of Incheon District Court, as well as the founder of the civic group, Creative Commons Korea, opened the SNOW knowledge forum by addressing the opening keynote speech entitled “Why Do We Have to Be Concerned About ‘Open’?” Judge Yoon mentioned that “many people know well the saying “knowledge is power,” but rather than accepting it in a literal sense we need to know the importance of the knowledge of those who have power.”
That was followed by the first program of the SNOW knowledge forum, a panel discussion of ‘four persons and four “colors”.’ The panel consisted of four panelists who had tried open movement in their respective fields and who were willing to show their ‘colors’, or different opinions and standings: Judge Jong-su Yoon; professor of medicine in Seoul University, Jeong-wook Seo; deputy department head of NHN, Sang-whan Yang; and vice president professor of the UBL enterprise department in Sookmyung, Jee-sun Lee.
In the case-study presentation, the producer of CBS, Beom-jun Khoo, the team manager of KT, Hyun-soo Park, the director of research in TNM Media, Gyu-sung Ahn, and the director of the Alliceon media art channel, Won-jun Yoo, shared detailed cases of open movement.
SNOW knowledge forum finished with some 200 in the audience responding enthusiastically. The speeches delivered in the SNOW knowledge forum can be reviewed on SNOW’s homepage, www.snow.or.kr.
