Open Definitions:What are they?Why should we have them?

The Open Knowledge Foundation: A global network of data wranglers, civil servants, hackers and citizens who build tools, projects and local communities that promote openness.Source: http://okfn.org

Online and Offline forms of openness allow end users to produce new, unexpected results.Source: Wellcome Collection Archives, London

#OKFest 2012 Is a week-long celebration of these kinds of unexpected results in Helsinki.Source: http://okfestival.org

For this festival, the first of itskind, we decided to exploreexperimental new methods.Source: http://okfestival.org

With a focus on open knowledge in action, weve given up over 2/3 of the week to festival participants themselves to organise as Guest Programme Planners.Source: http://okfestival.org

Example of this concept:An international Open Design Working Group.Source: http://design.okfn.org/

A collaboration based on the creation of a new Open Design Definiton to unite designers + makers of different kinds.Source: https://github.com/

A Definition, not a license! A community shared agreement about what is Open Design and how it could developed further, not a legal tool!Source: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/definition

Based on the Open Definition... “A piece of content or data is open if anyone is free to use, reuse, and redistribute it without legal or technical restrictions.”Source: http://opendefinition.org

Also inspired by the OpenSource Hardware Definition,first published in 2010...Source: https://github.com/

… and the Open SourceDefinition launched by the OpenSource Initiative ...

And, lastly, on the Open DesignDefinition V. 0.2, which isincomplete and not really open.

And now, Git.Lets talk a bit about the history of ourcollaborative toolset, and why we wantto use it to create our new Definition.

Git: a distributed versioncontrol system Source: http://git-scm.com/

A version control system? Source: http://git-scm.com/

Git: a distributed versioncontrol system Source: http://git-scm.com/book/en/Getting-Started-About-Version-Control

Git: a command line tool

Git: GUIs also available Source: http://git-scm.com/downloads/guis

Git: a good free book Source: http://git-scm.com/book

Git: history of the file system Source: http://git-scm.com/book/en/Getting-Started-Git-Basics

Git: the architecture Source: http://git-scm.com/book/en/Getting-Started-Git-Basics

Git: history of a files lifecycle Source: http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Basics-Recording-Changes-to-the-Repository

Git: commands & architecture Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_%28software%29

And finally, GitHub...an interface to Git that buildscommunities around code.

GitHub provides a set of freetools for sharing code in an OpenSource way, and is the mostpopular platform now ...

Its also used websites like Reddit,and by coders themselves (like LinusTorvalds), who make accounts,comment and edit code together ...

And now it will be used by those ofyou who want to get involved, tobuild this Definition together asdesigners of different kinds!

Wed love to hear your ideas,criticisms and additions to this ideain the collective discussion!

So, lets start by joining themailing list:http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/opendesign

And then lets create a GitHubaccount:https://github.com/

A free account on GitHub:https://github.com/

Then tell us on the mailing list yourusername, and well add you to theorganization on GitHub!

So that we can start the discussionwith issues on GitHub!
