[Open Design] Two simple questions about The Definition

[Massimo Menichinelli]

Hi Petri,
there are many reasons for developing an Open Design definition. Some of 
them are similar to the reasons for developing an Open Definition (Open 
Source, Open Data, Open Hardwre, ...) for example stating in a clear and 
shared way what it is (there is a lot of confusion about it), how we 
should/could address it, maybe clarifying the situation regarding IP law 
for it, localizing its position regarding other forms of Open Knowledge. 
And more important for me, building a community around the concept of 
Open Design that has a shared agreement about it and it is the starting 
point for other projects and collaboration.

We are doing in a collaborative way in order to have a shared decision 
about it, instead of having one-way communication of what Open Design is.
