If you are not already familiar with Open Business.cc, it’s an open knowledge commons worth looking at and participating in.

The basic core concepts of Open Business can be found under the idea section:

“Open business is designed to help the little guy along on his journey to spread his idea while creating revenues in the process. In order to sustain a rich innovative global community, access to information and ideas is requisite. The goal of open business is to analyze and explain models by which people can share their knowledge and creativity with others guided by the aligned incentives of profit, individual success, and societal advancement. The operating ethic transcends zero sum capitalism to create opportunities of mutual gain for the individual and her subscribers alike. By granting increased levels of access to information, innovators; be they writers, musicians, computer programmers, journalists, or any form of consultant under the sun, can reap the benefits of advertising their product in a way that is infinitely more pure and true than any thirty second television spot: by allowing the genius of their creativity to sell itself to the customer through use.”

The site also hosts a wiki for co creating a manual of Open Business.

Openbusiness.cc sent out an email today announcing their first in a series of published reports investigating sustainable Open Publishing concepts. This first report looks at how Open Publishing concepts help people maximize dwindling resources. The next report “will cover OpenBusiness strategies more broadly
covering sectors ranging from music, video to services.” –Sam Rose
