Robert Steele at LIBTECHNYC: The Open Source Everything Manifesto
At the highest level of thinking, it boils down to a loss of government legitimacy, and a majority of the public being unemployed, abused, and increasingly desperate. We are out of balance.
What is to be done?
As briefly as possible, I see four huge positives that are within our grasp.
First is the indigenous or native American concept of bottom up consensus leadership that takes the long view based on ethical evidence-based decision support: open source leadership.
The other three points:
– the eight tribes of information that do not share information now;
– a concept for creating mostly public intelligence from my colleague Jan Herring; and
– a strategy for creating a prosperous world at peace.
Open Source cannot be effective unless we embrace it and go “all in” across all the opens. Open Data without Open Software and Open Hardware is not real. Open Government is fiction unless we also have Open Intelligence and Open Access. Open Networks cannot be effective without Open Cloud and Open Spectrum.
can you belive this…i was writing on open source everything…INcluding bitcois and open source internet.
I’d say that we can even actually get rid of the money thing at some point.
