Hi Everyone,

I've just returned from OSCON were I met Karsten Wade who introduced me to "The Open Source Way," and I shared with him some complimentary work I've done with several open source communities, companies and educational institutions within higher ed, "The Openness Index."

Based on our discussions, Karsten suggested I add my content and I would now appreciate any comments/critiques this community might have (https://www.theopensourceway.org/wiki/The_Openness_Index).

In a sentence, "The Openness Index is a maturity model for assessing and authenticating behavior that facilitates..." openness, or as I have begun to state, "...The Open Source Way."

The goal of the project is to help those in a community of practice, as well as those interested in joining such communities, to assess the application of practices/principles (i.e. maturity) described in TOSW.

I've only begun to migrate the content over and am working to align my content with the vocabulary and concepts of TOSW.

All thoughts welcome.

Thanks,
Patrick
