OSE Culture
OSE is building a culture of open source super-cooperators. This applies to individuals and organizations. In addition to open source-collaborative. Note that open source is typically not collaborative - the typical case is a hacker going off into a corner and then emerging some time later with a semi-finished product, at which point it becomes more collaborative. OSE promotes publishing earlier than this, to make true the 'publish early and often' credo. Note also that many 'collaborative' projects are not open source. And than many crowdsourced projects (such as Hero-X) are neither open or collaborative. Hero-X projects are typically proprietary, and none are collaborative - in that teams fight to win, as opposed to working together on a bigger project.
There is more than collabrative and open. Peak performance requires that we are also entrepreneurial. Cultural transformation requires that we are teachers. And transcending armchair theory means that we are builders.
So we come up thus with the 5 characteristics of OSE collaborators: super-cooperating open source entrepreneurs who are also hands-on teachers and builders. That is a rare breed - and we call this the 5-Legged Dog.
Calculation
The chance of finding a 5 legged dog - a person who is a supercooperator-builder-teacher-open source-entrepreneur - is just about exactly 1 in a million, based on available statistics. This is just a first order approximation. This figure is derived by multiplying the 5 percentages below.
