Release early, release often.
In May, Alan Rosenblith - the producer of the The Money Fix - came to visit us (Ernie and Michael) in the Comox Valley. We spent three busy days shooting some very basic "talking head" video to document the "need to know" open money memes - those essential ideas that anyone working with open money really needs to understand and apply.
These materials are now being gradually released under a Creative Commons license, to encourage their widespread publication and use. This particular release is most definitely NOT directed at the general public, and should not be reviewed as though it were. Rather, the materials are published to provide the initial core for an open money development media project that applies open money methods, so that the content and process are mutually consistent.
People and organizations with interest in open money in general, and open money development in particular, are invited to participate in this project. There is a clear need for many resources, including writers, graphic artists, editors, transcribers, translators, reviewers and remixers. And much else besides. As this is an open money project, those who contribute can expect to share in whatever project revenues are realized.
