I agree with both of you, it’s a pity this happens again after the 
tagline/website change. 
The Open Definition is our core document, publishing it without a discussion 
with the broader OK community is not going in a better direction.

I'm sorry I didn't follow up on it, but here's what happened:

Over on the OD discussion list, there was a call for voting as to whether we 
had reached the final v2.

My comment is here: 
https://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/od-discuss/2014-August/000974.html

I never added my +1 (despite being perfectly happy with our result). I said 
instead that we needed to engage the larger list before any statement that 
there was any official anything (especially given the logo issues). Apparently, 
I was just ignored.

I still object to the way people active on the OD list just went and said, "ok, 
we all discussed and worked out things, we're all happy, now we announce to the 
world." I was actually there to say, "no, we need to tell the broader OK 
community about what we've got and get feedback before any announcements 
otherwise" but I failed to keep bugging people about that, and I guess nobody 
else shared my concerns enough to reply to my post or otherwise do this the 
right way.

Regards,
Aaron Wolf (just a volunteer who decided to help on the OD list)

Hi all, 

I just noticed that the autumn newsletter of the Open Knowledge addresses the 
launch of the "Open Definition 2.0". 

Either I missed it and I apologize if this is the case, or the whole community 
has not been consulted or even informed of the procedure of renewal of the Open 
Definition. I think this is unfortunate, especially regarding such a crucial 
topic who contributes to shape the image of the Open Knowledge by setting 
standards which are broadly used.

It was apparently planned to inform OK's lists (discuss, local-coord...) in 
advance but this has not been done unless I'm mistaken (1 and 2).

Could you give us some news?

Cheers,
Samuel Azoulay
