Xamanismo Coletivo<p>"The "unique" selling point of the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OMN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OMN</span></a> (Open Media Network) often gets lost because people focus too much on the technical side rather than the simple, fundamental idea at its core. The real value proposition, which might sound like "common sense," is quite radical in today's landscape: in the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OMN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OMN</span></a>, both people and content are treated as data objects in the commons by default and are only private/owned by exception.<br>This might seem straightforward, but it's a powerful shift away from the dominant models we see today. Most current <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/dotcons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dotcons</span></a>, are built the other way around, where data, content, and even people are enclosed and owned by default, with access and openness as rare exceptions.

witchescauldron<p>The "unique" selling point of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OMN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OMN</span></a> (Open Media Network) often gets lost because people focus too much on the technical side rather than the simple, fundamental idea at its core. The real value proposition, which might sound like "common sense," is quite radical in today's landscape: in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OMN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OMN</span></a>, both people and content are treated as data objects in the commons by default and are only private/owned by exception.<br>This might seem straightforward, but it's a powerful shift away from the dominant models we see today. Most current <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dotcons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dotcons</span></a>, are built the other way around, where data, content, and even people are enclosed and owned by default, with access and openness as rare exceptions. The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OMN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OMN</span></a> flips this on its head, embodying the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/4opens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>4opens</span></a>—<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OpenData" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenData</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OpenProcess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenProcess</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OpenStandards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenStandards</span></a>, to create a network where sharing and collaboration are the norm, not the exception.<br>By adhering to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KISS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KISS</span></a> (Keep It Simple, Stupid) principle, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OMN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OMN</span></a> provides a foundation for building genuinely open and participatory digital spaces. So, there it is, stripped down to its essence: the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OMN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OMN</span></a> isn't just another tech project; it’s a framework for reclaiming our digital commons.</p>
witchescauldron<p>The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/4opens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>4opens</span></a> framework provides a set of principles for testing, evaluating and promoting progressive social and tech projects. By adhering to these principles, people and communities support initiatives that prioritize openness, collaboration, and social good. Let's explore how each of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/4opens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>4opens</span></a> can be utilized.</p><p>Open Data: Open data is the foundation of transparency and accountability in tech projects. By making data freely accessible and usable by anyone, projects can foster innovation, collaboration, and democratic decision-making. Progressive social and tech initiatives can leverage <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/opendata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>opendata</span></a> to empower communities, address social inequalities, and advance public interest goals. For example, open data can be used to track government spending, monitor environmental pollution, or analyze social trends.<br>Open Source: Open source software is essential for fostering a healthy and vibrant tech ecosystem. By providing access to source code and encouraging collaborative development, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>opensource</span></a> projects can accelerate innovation, improve software quality, and promote digital autonomy. Progressive social and tech initiatives can utilize open source software to build tools and platforms that empower people and challenge corporate monopolies.<br>Open "Industrial" Standards: Open industrial standards are critical for ensuring interoperability and compatibility across diverse tech systems. By adhering to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/openstandards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openstandards</span></a>, projects can avoid vendor lock-in, promote diversity, and facilitate innovation. Progressive social and tech initiatives can advocate for and adopt open standards to build decentralized, resilient, and inclusive tech infrastructures. For example, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/openstandards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openstandards</span></a> for communication protocols can enable peer-to-peer networks and decentralized social media platforms.<br>Open Process: Open process refers to the transparent and participatory decision-making processes that govern tech projects. By involving stakeholders in project planning, development, and governance, open process fosters trust, accountability, and collective ownership. Progressive social and tech initiatives can embrace <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/openprocess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openprocess</span></a> by adopting democratic and inclusive decision-making structures, such as consensus-based decision-making or participatory budgeting. For example, open process can enable community-led initiatives, address social justice issues, and promote collective well-being.</p><p>In summary, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/4opens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>4opens</span></a> framework provides a roadmap for advancing progressive social and tech change and challenging the dominance of centralized, proprietary tech platforms. By prioritizing openness, collaboration, and social impact, individuals and communities can support initiatives that empower people to build a more equitable and democratic tech ecosystem.</p>
