What we’re about
## OpenUK is the organisation for the business of Open Technology in the UK. More details can be found at openuk.uk
Our meetups are a way for the UK open source community to come together to build community, to meet others, and to learn from each other around open source software, open hardware and open data.
OpenUK promotes businesses, projects and people, who use and develop Open Technology in the UK and collaborates with existing organisations in Open Technology to deliver through 3 Pillars:
- Community: creating a cohesive community across the UK;
- Legal and Policy: using this community’s influence to make the UK a great place for Open Technology through appropriate laws and policies; and
- Learning: promoting education and learning of skills in Open Technology.
