It might be time for a broad (and thoughtful) conversation on the limits of openness, in the #OpenEcosystem? How do #OpenGovernment and #OpenData work within the #FreeSoftware framework? Do #OERs run the risk of promoting #fauxpen and #OpenWashing?

An issue we often have in the #OpenEcosystem is that “open” means different things in different contexts. Here, the protocol remains open (as with SMTP), with the potential to benefit a lot of people through what used to be called #OpenGraph. At the same time, the way federation actually works in practice is both much more nuanced and has important technical implications. (Try federating your own instance with a large one… or one filled with things your users consider toxic.)

There's a lot to the "Ecosystem of Open". #OpenEcosystem
From F/LOSS, #OpenData, and #OpenBadges to #OpenScience, #OpenGovernment, and #OERs, let's work through a whole system of complex interrelations. Yes, that includes activities @weareopencoop & @openedtech.social. Also, #InfoPros (librarians et al.).
#LOUDGLAM is a neat example: Linked Open Usable Data in Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums.
