Hello Heidi and Emma, > I observe that open source is a philosophy not a technical approach
As I have a tendency to disagree, I would say that "open source" is first a technical approach of making source code and probably source files available, nothing more. Then the philosophy, the culture is coming on top of it, but that's not really what open source purely describes. And it's not really one philosophy that this technical aspect enable, but many.
Let's take the case of something with source code available, eventually complying with the OSD, but that belongs to a single company (or a state?) who do not care about the community for various reasons. It's still considered as "open source software" without these community aspects, this philosophy we may imagine open source come with.
In line with the article of Emma, I see it more around this idea of "open collaboration". A technical aspect that enable something else for which we may still lack appropriate words to express it precisely.
I invite you to read this article of Haacked "What Is The Spirit of Open Source? <https://haacked.com/archive/2012/02/22/spirit-of-open-source.aspx/>" which is exactly around this questioning/debate.

> we meet every couple of weeks (calendar <https://teamup.com/event/show/id/wENsHqRXBbCy9vCxY1wA5Csrg9y2WW>) if you wanted to come and share a bit more that would be awesome.
Thanks for sharing to your working group and this proposal to come to speak about it. Even if I'm not into AI, this topic of "open source resources" may be of interest so why not. One thing is that I'm in Philippines right now and it would be at 1AM for me!
But I see there is Coraline Ada Ehmke, and as the co-founder of the Organization for ethical source <https://ethicalsource.dev/> I would love to have the opportunity to discuss with her, it definitely motivate me to come. So let's say I will try to come this 28 may? She will be there?
Please tell her she is cited in my work regarding her opposition to the OSD ! I think this idea of "open source resources" can give her some food for thought in this fight I genuinely share against OSI.
