[OpenDesign] OpenDesign: Prpoposal for Breakfast during salone del mobile

Sat Apr 14 11:42:18 UTC 2012

Dear everybody.
Maybe some of you are in milan during salone del mobile?
I wanted to propose a breakfast at the Cascina Cuccagna
<http://www.cuccagna.org/portal/IT/handle/?page=eng>on *thursday the 19th
at 9:30*

The idea is just an informal round table, were we could get to know
eachother and discuss a little about what is happening in the open design
movement.
*Possible Topics:*

   - It Becomes Public: Everything that is done in our public space becomes
   public matter. If citizens are the major benefited/suffers, what are they
   doing to influence decision making?
   - Ad hoc is a Latin
phrase<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Latin_phrases>meaning "for
this". It generally signifies a solution designed for a
   specific problem or task, non-generalizable, and not intended to be able to
   be adapted to other purposes.
   - Pro-Activeness (Pro Amateurs and Makers): DIY is a way of living. DIY
   Distribute tasks among society, DIY allows people to take part.
   - Shareable (Open Culture): Openness spreading from Open Source Software
   to Open Open-Govs. It facilitates sharing, discussion and building on each
   other works.
   - Open going main stream. How we create a culture and do not fall into
   OpenWashing?

But i would propose it quite open and informal, see what comes out.
We will make it public at our website: www.makerlab.info.

Best regards

pedro pineda
