Share Business Models That Share Invitation to iCommoners to participate in Openbusiness. Openbusiness is an international initiative with partners in Brazil, South Africa and the UK. Its aim is to share business strategies, models and ideas which thrive on openness and the freedoms Creative Commons enables. OpenBusiness.cc is a platform to share and develop innovative OpenBusiness ideas- entrepreneurial ideas which are built around openness, free services and free access.
Existing OpenBusiness members are involved in Creative Commons in their respective jurisdictions and are seeking more participants, contributors and partners from the international iCommons community.
How can you participate? You could simply visit www.Openbusiness.cc and contribute a blog entry about an interesting Openbusiness topic. Posts and discussion range from online record labels and publishers to any other type of service makes use of Creative Commons licenses as an integral part of their enterprise. In addition we are seeking inputs on business strategies that enable sharing, p2p or that make use of other business strategies which contribute to the commons. You can either contribute individually, or participate as a full partner, taking up a specific project and contributing regularly.
Help to build the Enterprise Commons Recently OpenBusiness has started the development of OpenBusiness tools. On the website you can find a draft for a Commercial Commons License, which is meant to supplement Creative Commons license and provide for free a structure for commercial relationships involving creative works. In addition OpenBusiness members have started to discuss shared ownership structures and the creation of other tools to support OpenBusiness entrepreneurs.
Why participate? OpenBusiness aims to help the little guy and support the sharing of knowledge and ideas which empower individuals to move from an exciting project to a sustainable Open Business. Sharing, opening up content and ideas are rational strategies for individuals who aim to create community driven enterprises or foster co-creation to challenge established businesses built on closed IP and ownership structures.
This is an opportunity for iCommoners to support innovative approaches in the business domain.
