Hi Jesus,
the reason is that the LD is not an AALOA document. AALOA was only
mandated to organize the work on the LD in an open way without any
"back-stage" decision making. Apparently, the experience of the
participants of AMB'11 was that at least this level of trusting the
AALOA governing board is possible, which is already something. Me
personally am very happy with that. Having this in mind, we tried not to
discuss the "how"s too much in order to have a chance to converge. De
facto, most of the projects supporting the LD are not linked with AALOA
(even some of the people having joined the group on aalforum.eu do not
have any link to AALOA). What does AALOA gain? At least, it becomes more
known. Although one result of this could be that new people might decide
to join, for me personally, however, it is more important that at this
stage, we attract a certain level of trust that we really stand for
openness, "co-opetiton" (see the manifesto), and convergence even if
one might not share some of our concrete ideas.
Kind regards,
-- Saied

something that surprises me me when reading this declaration
(...particulary if it is comming form AALOA) is that open source is
not mentioned at all.
We have been involved in others policy documents such as the OECD
Study on Software Innovation, as technical advisors to the economist
team (together with industrial organisations with different
strategies)
http://www.oecd.org/document/63/0,3746,en_2649_34223_39109439_1_1_1_1,00.html#background
and open source is recognised as other strategies,
Is there any reason for this?
