Non-Technical Projects Using Open-Source Methodologies?

Posted by Cliff on from the open-doesn't-have-to-be-limited-to-computers dept.

handspring_cjf asks: "I'm doing some work on non-technical projects: organizations/companies that are using the ideals that originated with the Open Source movement in the commercial/non-profit marketplace. So far, I've come up with the OpenLaw project at Harvard Uni, but that seems to be the only big one that I can find. I'm sure that there are others out there that I don't know about. Any help that people could offer would be greatly appreciated."

  1. There's Open Music by epsalon · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The same rules of open source, applied to music.

    The works are licensed under the Open audio license. There is a listing of open music works available here.

  2. "open-source" encyclopedia by neripunk · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There is a really good attempt to build a collaborative, volunteer, peer-reviewed, open, free (both senses) encyclopedia at www.nupedia.org
