Preamble

Intro - How to build the Open Mesh - draft 4

Overview

The story of our journey, a quest:

0. Open is the new Black

1. Act pragmatic, but dream like a visionary

2. We'll be living in a distributed world, with many dimensions

3. Everything is a URL in the cloud

4. Two-way APIs are key

5. Widgets, modules and gadgets are the distributed web

6. Access and privacy controls are a key to trust and they must work across systems

7. Open Standards and new kinds of infrastructure are needed so we can build our own platforms - New Infrastructure

8. There are certain building blocks that each system needs

9. Open: Source, Data, Standards, Ideas

10. NEA: Nobody owns it, Everyone can use it, Anybody can improve upon it

11. We'll have to learn to live off the crumbs left behind

12. Semi-open alliances are one way to get there

13. Work with your competitors
