Today, we'll build
something together:
an Open Design Definition.
This CC BY presentation is based on workshops done by Massimo Menichinelli and Kat Braybrooke.
Our names are
Massimo and Kat.
We are an Italian in
Finland and a Canadian in
the United Kingdom.
We work at
the Open Knowledge
Foundation in London,
and the Aalto Media
Factory in Helsinki.
Together with
a global team of builders, we
are also organising the first
Open Knowledge Festival
ever in Finland this fall.
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.

Online and Offline
forms of openness allow end users
to produce new, unexpected results.

#OKFest 2012
Is a week-long celebration of these
kinds of unexpected results in Helsinki.

For this festival, the first of its
kind, we decided to explore
experimental new methods.

With a focus on open knowledge in action,
we've given up over 2/3 of the week to
festival participants themselves to organise
as Guest Programme Planners.

Example of this concept:
An international Open Design Working Group.

A collaboration based on the creation of
a new Open Design Definiton to unite
designers + makers of different kinds.

A Definition, not a license!
A community shared agreement about what is
Open Design and how it could developed
further, not a legal tool!

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 Open
Source Hardware Definition,
first published in 2010...
Source: https://github.com/
… and the Open Source
Definition launched by the Open
Source Initiative ...
And, lastly, on the Open Design
Definition V. 0.2, which is
incomplete and not really open.
And now, Git.
Let's talk a bit about the history of our
collaborative toolset, and why we want
to use it to create our new Definition.
Then tell us on the mailing list your
username, and we'll add you to the
organization on GitHub!
So that we can start the discussion
with issues on GitHub!
