A couple of us have been working on trying to ‘map’ the ‘move towards openness’. This is my attempt – covering the different levels of openness in communication input – process – output.

What about Open Land?
Unless we can bring that into the map I fear we’ll never get open everything

Actually, I want to work on creating a crowdfund for land trusts and open infrastructure, fancy helping develop the idea?
Projects like http://openfarmtech.org are brilliant, but they need finance to grow their team, and then we need to replicate them on more land all over the place

Thanks for the link to openfarmtech – really interesting!
