[od-discuss] [okfn-discuss] Open Definition 2.0?

Tue Oct 7 15:13:04 UTC 2014

Hi Aaron,

I am trying to understand your suggestion.

Our process was roughly:
1. discuss publicly for a year+
2. a call for final discussion and additions
https://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/od-discuss/2014-July/000905.html
3. a call for a vote
https://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/od-discuss/2014-August/000949.html
4. a formal announcement

Are you suggesting that there should be a step 3.1 where we make a
final-release-candidate announcement?

Thanks,
Herb
