[Open Design + Hardware] New definition for open design

[Aleksandar Kovač]

Thank you very much for sharing your work, Tanja!
It sounds like very promising (and hefty!) work, please keep it up!

I’d like to refer you to our paper on a designer’s position in the open source paradigm that I hope can be helpful in your work and I think parallels and complements your three layers nicely. After an exciting ride through our methodology ;), in its conclusion it proposes a general model of social adaptive behavior for a designer in the “open”:

1. Designer’s cultivation - designer’s ability to do ground-work in the open paradigm.
2. Designer’s socialization - designer’s ability to design *with* the open community.
3. Designer’s initiative - designer’s ability to design *within* the open source paradigm.

Hope this is useful. 
If you need more input from me, I’m happy to help.

The definition includes both the open product and the process, and includes open-source software, open hardware, and open commercialization processes, like open innovation, as well as open and participatory design practices like crowdsourcing and co-creation. This new definition, accompanied by a three-layered framework to analyze open design processes, is introduced in an article 'Open Paradigm in Design Research' published last week at the Design Issues.
