We first started discussing 'Free/Open Services' 2 years ago thanks to a post of Kragen Sitaker's. A year ago in July, prompted by debates at GUADEC and the follow-up by Luis Villa among others, there was a return to the issue and a formal draft was put up at:
<http://www.opendefinition.org/osd/> Following further discussion as part of an informal group coordinated by the FSF (soon to be further publicized I believe) I believe it is time for the Open Service Definition (likely rechristened as the Free/Open Service Definition -- though comments below) to be launched as being 1.0. To this end it would be great if people would take a quick look at the current F/OSD page and send back any comments (be that on typos or more substantial content): <http://www.opendefinition.org/osd/> I'd also welcome comments on 2 specific issues: 1. Naming: should it be Free/Open Service Definition or just plain Open Service Definition? 2. URL: should we go for the short 'osd' or the longer 'open_service_definition' (or even just 'open_service' or 'free_open_service').
