Hi everyone,
In this week's workshop on Privacy + Open Data, a few people suggested the idea of a manifesto to set out what open knowledge is all about. This could be a short text setting out what we believe in, which folks who share our vision could sign to indicate their commitment. It's not the first time the idea has come up, so I'd love your opinions! Do you want to have a manifesto? What should it look like? Which issues should it include? Which issues should it not include? What's the best platform for collaborative drafting - an etherpad, a google document, a github repository, something else? I've set up an etherpad to gather ideas on these questions: http://pad.okfn.org/p/manifesto_ideas Look forward to hearing from you! Laura PS - I was so inspired by the workshop. Sometimes it can seem like the privacy folks and open data folks have different views, but we ended up concluding many of us in both areas are driven by the same motivation - to use information power in the cause of human rights. On the train home, I was feeling super excited about this, so I quickly wrote up what was in my mind after the workshop here <https://docs.google.com/a/okfn.org/document/d/1dxwEV3Qt9S3sbOP7XSnefZ6koOcN7Xj3LGfvpkTuWlQ/edit>. If you were at the workshop, thanks for all your contributions - it was a great two days! Especial thanks to Mark Lizar and others in the 'power' session before lunch yesterday for inspiration and fervour :)
