Perens on "Post-Open"

For a while I've been working on "Post-Open", or "What Comes After Open Source", my attempt at a successor paradigm that would address the issues of Open Source that have become obvious to everyone.
I acknowledge that this is an extremely ambitious effort and I acknowledge the hubris it took. My only excuse is that it's no worse than my original efforts which resulted in Open Source :-)
There is a (so far "crayon", meaning not lawyer-product) license to discuss and an elevator talk about the paradigm at https://postopen.org/
This is still very early in the development, and explanatory information is still missing from the site. However, this would be a good time to sign on to the announcement and discussion groups if you'd like to participate in the development and at least be informed.
Thanks
Bruce
