Open Source Buddhism resonates very much with how I feel and what I am. I’m investing in “endeavor to establish practice groups, sanghas, and organizations that embrace the principles of open involvement and peer production’ for the last 20 years or so, with mixed success.
You say “While open source is an amazingly democratic or even consensus driven process”. TMO, successful open source is not democratic or consensus-driven, rather sociocratic and consent-driven. InformationWeek » How To Tell The Open Source Winners From The Losers wraps this up nicely.
An eclectic mix of Buddhism, Openness, Per-to-Peer, Agility and Sociocracy seems to emerge as today’s Social Operating System (SOS, Saving Our Souls :-).
