Open Language Standards

Ok just set it up for emails as they are sent.

And yes it was the OSHW Documentation Jam, I see now that you're listed in the partners section.

I don't have time to go into details as I'm going to work, but I'd really love to join the documentation jam, to contribute strategies what I've been developing. I believe language is powerful for accelerating concepts by facilitating discussion and stirring the imagination.

There's a strategy to the wording for openables, sustainables, and adaptables. Each has two cousin words

For example, openables is the goods and the method (licensing, sharability); openability is the philosophy and the trait (think sustainability); and openeer is a "pioneer and engineer of openability" who has contributed to the advances and philosophy of openability.

Since we have the website domain names (and Twitter aliases) then when people google the words they'll more likely encounter a standard description. (I'll leave this strategy to more capable hands, voted on by the community)

Another strategy is transparency and sharing info. This will all be developed in the open, adhering to teachOpen standards.

Finally, another language strategy: using the word "freed" to describe what really qualifies as open. Marketply could trademark it as I've done with "userSmart" and "Multiversal", and license it free to the all goods and organizations that qualify. The beautiful thing is that Marketply doesn't choose who qualifies for any of its trademarks, the community chooses. Always.

Marketply will also empower the community to be able to "veto" any decisions that Marketply would make that clearly goes against its core principles.

I expect all of this to generate discussion focused on openability (and/or sustainability, adaptability).

Marketply will be as close to nonprofit as possible and I'm looking into how to share the company's decisions and progress in real time and to involve companies in teachOpen so people everywhere can gain a demonstrated template for making hardware truly open source.

Best, thank you!
