I'm glad somebody has mentioned Debian. You want to see information freedom
done right, a functioning do-ocracy and most importantly a transparent,
democratic decision-making process, you don't need to look any further
than Debian.
Debian's extremely open and democratic as you say.
The problem is for years it went nowhere and the Shuttleworth went on
his Antarctic cruise, figured out who was actually doing anything and
created Ubuntu. Slightly less democratic but vastly better at shipping
an OS anyone would want to use.
