It's not really that open.
Some people (who?) weren't happy to see Nishi's speech and slides published
on the net. Nishi handed out copies of those slides and saw people with
microphones recording the speech, so I assume that if Nishi that objected to
them being published, he would have said so in Tilburg.
The meeting on Sunday was only for people invited. Understandable because of
the small meeting room, but far from open. The information given there was
not published for the benefit of those not present. Yokoi said things that he
would probably not have said in public.
The design made by Japanese MSX users was not presented to the Dutch MSX
users. Neither directly or afterwards. There is sense in letting two groups
develop independently, but it's not open.
The fact that MSX Player is in fact fMSX-Intent was not known before Tilburg.
Not in Europe, not in Japan. Even Marat didn't know.

Maarten
