Demos book on Open Source Released
I first learned about Demos when I was exploring the net about a year ago. They have a great paper called Open Source Democracy - really cool - talking about how open source ideas could influence how we 'do democracy' in our society.
They have just released a new paper Wide Open:Open sourcemethods and their future potential. I am psyched and will be reading this week. Hopefully others can too. Would love to know what you think.
from the blurb
the principles of open source promise to radically alter the we approach complex social problems....Just as it is now impossible to think about getting things done without considering the role of the Internet, so will it soon be impossible to think about how to solve a large social problem without considering the role of open methods.
