Massimo, Thanks for the detailed response! I took a quick look at a couple of presentations, but there is a lot to go through!!
You've certainly developed a lot of great intellectual property on the topic. A couple of things: OpenKollab is very project focused. We obviously recognize the value of information and create quite a bit of it ourselves, but the primary objective of the group is to bring about positive social change by leveraging open collaboration principles to connect specific projects. *I am wondering if you think any of the specific processes that you have identified/developed would apply directly to the work that we are doing?* We are also very collaborative in our approach to the development of the OpenKollab ecosystem and are interested in finding common ground with groups that are philosophically aligned. The recipe for effective collaboration (among other things!) is to ensure that all parties to the collaboration are working on projects that satisfy more personal goals and that they can retain their autonomy and independent processes within the context of the collaboration. These principles are being defined in the Ecosystem model that we are developing. With that in mind, we are interested in exploring collaboration possibilities with your group if you are interested. *Are there any projects that you are working on, or have been contemplating, that might be worth talking about?* Let me know.
