17	17	I would like to collaborate with the OSI community to formulate a set of criteria through which the OSI could usefully build upon its role as the primary touchstone "brand of trust" for designating **//genuine "open source" production and distribution//**, in a world where "open" branding has become ubiquitous (good) and ambiguous (not good). Of course, it's been wonderful to see the concept proliferate, but what's there to do about "[[openwashing>>url:http://opensource.com/business/14/12/openwashing-more-prevalent]]"? I suggest there's no better-placed entity than the OSI to establish a certification program for "open source" claims beyond the software realm. The OSI could strategically and pro-actively build upon the derivative logo arrangement that was worked out (after-the-fact and a little haphazardly) with [[OSHWA>>url:http://www.oshwa.org/2012/10/17/co-existence/]] to proactively come up with a series of OSI logos derived from the primary logo, for OSI-certified "openness" in domains other than software. This remains to explore and disscuss, and I understand that it's a non-trivial proposal. With your vote, I commit to working with others to formulate the concept with various options, and to help facilitate thoughtful consideration. I also commit, of course, to accepting a considered decision by the members and Board to not pursue such a direction.

This is a curated collection of online external learning resources that offer clear and useful freely-available web-based information from diverse sources to explain or illustrate the free/libre/open way (ethics, methods, processes, governance, HR management, strategy, security, law or financing). This syllabus does not shy away from delving deeply into primary concepts. It is [[designed for both business and technical people>>url:http://wiki.opensource.org/bin/download/Projects/flow%2Dsyllabus/flow%2Dsyllabus_intro_15jul2014PDF.pdf]].

31	31	More about my perspective on OSI and the free/libre/open is available in an interview in the [[November 2014 OSI Newsletter>>url:http://opensource.org/201411Newsletter]]. Here also is a[[ draft version of an academic article>>url:http://projectmanagementhotel.com/attachments/6065/jpotvin_tim-review_resilient-coordination_17jan2015PDF.pdf]] submitted for publication next month in Technology Innovation Management Review. (This version is still in editing, and will be taken offline when the official version get published in [[TIM Review>>url:http://timreview.ca/]].) I'm proposes a generalization of the multi-entity coordination methodology that was originally developed through the past three decades by the global free/libre/open source software movement, and I offer a general structure for visualizing resilient multi-entity coordination in any domain.

33	33	In Section 2 below I outline two fields in which I am actively applying the free/libre/open way in domains other than software.

39	39	I'm an economist by formal education, and in that domain I work on "Free/Libre/Open World (FLOW) Market Payment" in both research and practice. Among other things, I work to enable buyer and seller freedom to negotiate any and all attributes of price and payment in open markets.

41	41	In April 2014 I submitted [[a concept paper>>url:http://www.w3.org/2013/10/payments/papers/webpayments2014_submission_24.pdf]] to [[W3C's inaugural meeting on web payments>>url:http://www.w3.org/2013/10/payments/]]. This and subsequent community discussion via the [[W3C Interest Group on Web Payments>>url:http://www.w3.org/Payments/IG/]] led to the draft [[Use Case: Choosing Attributes of Price>>url:https://www.w3.org/Payments/IG/wiki/Use_Cases_Task_Force#Choosing_the_Attributes_of_Price]] which remains empty, but which [[I'm drafting presently>>url:https://web-payments.org/minutes/2015-02-10/#93]]. In parallel I am working under contract with [[DataKinetics>>url:http://www.dkl.com/corporate_overview.html]] on a 100% free/libre/open project to enable choice in terms of price and payment. We're currently scoping some contributions to electronic invoicing projects such as [[OpenInvoice>>url:http://www.openinvoice.org/]] and through venues like the [[European E-Invoicing Service Providers Association (EESPA)>>url:http://www.eespa.eu/]] amongst others. We'd like to ensure that price and payment terms themselves are independent of platform or payment service. We're making sure our work aligns with primary global standards in financial messaging ([[ISO 20022>>url:http://www.iso20022.org/]]http://www.iso20022.org/), e-commerce ([[ISO 15000>>url:http://www.iso.org/iso/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=61433]]http://www.iso.org/iso/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=61433) and business documents ([[OASIS UBL>>url:https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=ubl)]]). Meanwhile, on the same general topic I'm preparing my doctoral dissertation entitled “Free/Libre/Open World Market Payment" (Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA), Project Management; Université du Québec). The core research includes the design and development of several extensions to [[a free/libre/open source economic model>>url:http://www.globalclimateforum.org/index.php?id=lagom]]. The purpose of the modeling is to explore the potential macro-level emergent effects of greater micro-level choice in price and payment attributes.

45	45	I am also lead author of the [[Property-Powered Rail Open Development Model >>url:http://openrailproperty.org/en/]]which introduces to the real property and transportation sectors some elements of free/libre/open source strategy. This business concept is being [[peer-reviewed in industry fora>>url:https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz47kauZsx60MnFjSTN4NlMzRWM/view?usp=sharing]] and is the basis for a genuine proof-of-concept [[railway development project>>url:https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz47kauZsx60dUhQMDJvU1lnN3M/view]]. Yes, [[we're trying to create a real railway>>url:http://letsgomoose.com/]], and we're presently in the process of signing real consortium members. Transit system modeling work will include the design and development of an extension to the free/libre/open [[MATsim (Multi-Agent Transportation Simulation)>>url:http://www.matsim.org/]] software to include property value effects of metropolitan-scale passenger rail access.
