Dear Nikolay,<br><br>is it okay to share this with our list?<br><br>I can't really recommend any technical process, and I copy Sam rose for that, as for the governance<br><br>1) the community is the core and allowed permissionless contributions ; selection for excellence is done by accepted maintainers who have gained the confidence of the community and of each other<br>
<br>2) OSE-E is the formal entity responsible for maintaining the infrastructure of cooperation, but is not in command and control of the production process; it should be democratically managed<br><br>3) Use the peer production license to allow free usage by other commons-friendly market entities, but make other for-profits pay (define set of minimum conditions)<br>
<br>4) try to create your own cooperative entity for such activities, and create some kind of alliance of entities using the commons, which integrates various stakeholders<br><br>5) develop an ethical funding strategy, based on crowdfunding; look into the open hardware central bank, Goteo<br>
<br>hope that gives some ideas,<br><br>Michel<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Nov 6, 2011 at 5:59 AM, Nikolay Georgiev <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nikolay.h.georgiev@googlemail.com">nikolay.h.georgiev@googlemail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
OSE Europe is growing! What we are doing is something very similar and very different than Factor E Farm.<br>
<br>
We want to create an open, dynamic, self-organizing network of people, communities, organizations, and open enterprises working towards an open society.<br>
<br>
Last week we saved Solar Fire, the solar concentrator, which Marcin couldn't open source few months ago, and showed that We Together can achieve more than one leader. <a href="http://oseeurope.org/" target="_blank">http://oseeurope.org/</a><br>
<br>
Can you give me some advices how to design this Open Process?<br>
<br>
I started adding notes on how to develop Open Governance: <a href="http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/OSE_Europe/Open_Governance" target="_blank">http://opensourceecology.org/<u></u>wiki/OSE_Europe/Open_<u></u>Governance</a><br>
but I still have to learn more.<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
