Developing an open culture is not an easy process. The concept of open culture promotes collaboration and knowledge sharing without restricting intellectual property. An open culture project is a place where anyone can contribute ideas and work together to create something new. While the process of creating an educational application or designing a T-shirt may seem daunting, it is actually much easier than it might seem.
