Open for discussion: the "Open for Change" Manifesto

Ever since we started networking as “development 2.0 pioneers”, we wanted to express our core values, so we can grow our network into a movement.

In January we adopted the name “Open for Change”, and worked to organise the world’s first “Open Data for Development Camp” (ODDC) in May, to bring together the people in that movement.

Based on the conversations we had with many of you (before, during and after ODDC), and inspired by other manifestos, we now have created a beta version of the Manifesto for Open for Change, and love to hear your feedback.

The Manifesto is the foundation for more plans and activities to grow our global movement. Schematically, it could look like this:

We see “Open for Change” as an open source brand and as an international ecosystem, based on the Manifesto and with a light-weight organisational and technical structure to connect various projects and activities:

Most of these are in their conception phase, some are already starting to take shape with people working on it.

Our focus now is to get feedback on the Manifesto and to hear your thoughts on the “open source brand” and the organisational form it should take.
