Over the weekend, myself and Marty Maher and a bunch of other volunteers stage the 3rd annual Aireys Inlet Open Mic Music Festival. My mate Geoff Brown blogs his experience running a music festival using improvisation, trust and the gift economy as an operating system:
Apart from being an absolutely outrageous success, it was loads of fun and we designed and staged it all without a Steering Committee (yaaay) … or a detailed strategic plan for that matter!

While most of the US switched to daylight savings time last weekend, Arizona did not which meant that our 7:30 EDT start time was delayed until closer to 8:30, result being we kept Gene around longer than we had hoped AND, as we discovered driving home, we missed dinner as there is not a single open restaurant between Boxborough and Newton after 10 PM on a weekday (do we live in the sticks or what?).
Last night, we drove out to Boxborough, Mass, to meet with a group attending a conference sponsored by the National Association of Corporate Directors . Detail: they were in Phoenix, Arizona.

Ben Malbon of BBHLabs was exceedingly envious of ours, so much so that, in a rather generous display of creative openness, we made a special B-B-H for him (the Labs thing was just too much hassle):
One cowboy hat, four flights, six blog posts, dozens of sessions, hundreds of tweets and waaay too many tequila shots later, Made by Many is home from Austin and over the jet lag (well, some of us are doing better on that one than others).
There are a few blog posts in the pipeline about the various things we saw/heard/did at SXSW and the Deep Thoughts touched off thusly.

Ben and the CCAlps Salon invited me to speak on Open Everything in Vienna on 11 September at 19:30 in the Museumsquarter. by open and free input , which is participatorily processed to result in a universally available commons , which in turn represents open and free input for further iterations.
The main body of the visualization contains 6 aspects of processes representing the cycle of reproduction and growth of openness in our societies. This mindmap could certainly be more beautifully designed and presented, but I can’t refrain from already sharing, as it presents such a condensation of the 3 years of research we’ve undertaken at the P2P Foundation.

Open Social Web September 5, 2008 Happy Birthday, Bill of Rights Filed under: Open Social Web — jsmarr @ 5:41 pm Hard to believe, but the Bill of Rights for Users of the Social Web is one year old today. Harder still to believe how much the social web has opened up in that year! Here’s a special Thank you to everyone that’s supported this movement, and here’s to another amazing year ahead. That said, this Bill of Rights is not a document “carved in stone” (or written on paper).

David Mellis:
“Open-source hardware requires money. This fundamentally distinguishes the nature of its participants from those of open-source software. David A. In open-source software, the fundamental contributor is the developer, many of whom collaborate in order to create a single software application.

Open models are now famous for being adopted in many fields outside software development, and we can see this as a proof of their importance and a clear sign of their success. One of the most interesting fields where we witness the adoption of Open models is the Design one, where we can find cases of open web design ( OpenDesigns , Open Source Web Design , Open Web Design ), open product design ( Openmoko , VIA OpenBook , Bug Labs , Zoybar ), open meta-design processes , and even open architectural design .
Even if slowly, an usually competitive and ego-driven professional community like the design one is starting to realize what are the potentials for the collaboration and sharing of Open Design initiatives .

In an open-source healthcare system, someone might go to vocational school for accreditation as the equivalent of a Chinese “barefoot doctor.” The healthcare industry is a textbook example of what Ivan Illich (in Tools for Conviviality ) called a “radical monopoly.” The central function of the government’s “safety” and “consumer protection” regulations, in most cases, is either to exclude competing providers of a good or service from the market, to circumscribe the areas of competition between them, or to set a floor on the capitalization required for doing business and thus
