[Open Design] [OpenDesign] Questions about the Open Design Definition

[Massimo Menichinelli]

Good points!
Only a couple of quick comments...

Open P2P Design is based on applying open source process to a service 
design project, so Open Service Design has been already claimed in 2005 ;)

Many many designers, authors, researchers and schools of design would 
reply that design is not only about the "aesthetic" side, even if there 
is some design that is only about "aesthetic". So probably this 
definition would make things easily, by complicating the discussion on 
another side. So again, probably it's all about deciding between design 
according to law or design according to designers...

> Having said that, I would advocate to have a more focused discussion to start with, maybe around anything tangible (including media of all kind) that does not fall primarily under engineering but under "aesthetic" ... essentially the stuff that's taught at industrial design schools and design academies, the stuff that from an "IP" point of view would fall under "design" (= the visual design of objects that are not purely utilitarian) when we speak about the product (see 4, below).
