Hi Aleksandar and all, 

This post led me to two more links:

an interesting article on hackathon agreements

> My name is Aleksandar Kovac. I am a doctoral candidate at Kyoto Institute of Technology. I have been researching methodologies in theory and practice of designing in open information contexts. For the last couple of years I am field-researching designers and designing in open source software development process, hoping to find where, how, and why do designers succeed (and more often than not) fail when collaborating on design solutions in such communities. The idea (loftily said) is to provide designers some kind of heuristics or philosophy that would guide their designing behavior when designing with/within communities and societies both online and offline.
