After further discussion, consideration and much input from various 
people in the community I think we're ready to consider the current Open 
Definition draft 2.1 dev for acceptance.

You can find the current draft 2.1 dev version here:
https://github.com/okfn/opendefinition/blob/master/source/open-definition-2.1-dev.markdown 
<https://github.com/okfn/opendefinition/blob/master/source/open-definition-2.1-dev.markdown>

The actual diff can be viewed here:Â http://git.io/vm6W8
(note: this diff includes all changes to the repository so use the 
"Files Changed" tab to see just the changes to the 
"source/open-definition-2.1-dev.markdown" file.

The main discussions centred around the preamble as well as clauses 1.3, 
2.2.3, 2.2.5 and 2.2.6.

Most of the issues addressed are also documented here:Â 
https://github.com/okfn/opendefinition/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=label%3A2.1


Please pay particular attention to 1.3 in your review as that clause was 
one of the main reasons for this update and we want to ensure it is as 
good as we can make it.  See discussions here 
<https://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/od-discuss/2014-November/thread.html>and 
here 
<https://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/od-discuss/2014-November/thread.html>and 
here <https://github.com/okfn/opendefinition/issues/68>.

An attribution clause has also been added to the definition to recognize 
the work the definition is based on.


Please submit any further comments on the od-discuss list. Â Â

Please take this opportunity to raise any final objections to voting on 
final acceptance of this draft.  If no objections are received I will 
call for a vote in approximately one week.


Please disseminate this note further as you see fit and if you know of 
another list that we should notify, please let me know.

Thank you,
Herb Lainchbury
Chair, Open Definition Advisory Council

Attribution
+The Open Definition was initially derived from the Open Source 
Definition, which in turn was derived from the original Debian Free 
Software Guidelines, and the Debian Social Contract of which they are a 
part, which were created by Bruce Perens and the Debian Developers. 
Bruce later used the same text in creating the Open Source Definition. 
This definition is substantially derivative of those documents and 
retains their essential principles. Richard Stallman was the first to 
push the ideals of software freedom which we continue.
