Hi Julien,
My 5 ct:
I would mention open source as open formats more as a "recommendation".
If we are talking about Open Data, the most important part is that the
dataset has an open license. From the moment there is an open license
which complies to the open definition, all the rest is policy and
technology:
If you want to maximize reuse in a sustainable way, using open formats
is a very pragmatic choice. Same holds true for Open Source: it is a
pragmatic choice to limit vendor lock-in, to have an open governance and
so on...
Furthermore, I'm really in favour of submitting as one group, but that's
up to you, Ben and Philippe to decide :)
Kind regards,
Pieter

Hi,
@Ben : I had contact with Philippe D. who works on this topic.
The idea was to synchronize the OSM and OKFN work on this topic, but
give back two advices. We are thinking that repeating things twice may
have a bigger impact... (We do not know if this is true...)
@all :
I have a question regarding the OSM opinion : do you think whe should
keep the chapter about Free Software ?
Open Source and Open Data are two differents subjects. Enemies of Open
Data may counter-argues that "for doing Open Data, you must use Open
Source and this is a problem", which is not the reality (ESRI does
Open Data).
Having in the same document arguments in favors of Open data AND Open
Source is difficult, because they are differents topics, which are
related, but not completely.
The risk is to loose the "pro-" open data which are not "pro-" open
source.

Hi Julien,
I already read part of your comments but I will try and have a closer
look soon... I also received word that OKFN is doing the same. Maybe
we could merge this work with theirs?
Best Regards,
Ben
