#OpenIP What I think it is

OpenIP   Open Intellectual Property

OpenIP is the open sharing of information so that software can be written , products can designed and built.  It is not a new paradigm... but is has a new visibility in the brave new world of the Internet.   This includes .....   ( and is not limited to )

Open Source Software
     sourceforg.net
 
Open Hardware 
     http://www.oshwa.org/
     https://upverter.com/     32,000 designs
 
Open Manufacturing
      http://openmanufacturing.net/

Open BioScience

Open Journal

Open Design Tools
     http://www.inkscape.org/en/
     www.blender.org

Stuff may be shared under various licenses to encourage further sharing or the stuff may be simply Public Domain. I apologize for the many sources of OpenIP I have missed.

What it is not ....
== Some of the software libraries are open source and the rest of the code is secret.
== Licensed patents
== Future promises to share important data
== items that are copyrighted
== Lots of hype that conceals a hidden agenda of stingy sharing
== Software where one version is free to the public



To:   Companies , Organizations and Individuals .. 
    Tell the truth
If you are dedicated to proprietary methods and data... that is fine... please be *open* about your stance.  Marketing hype that pretends to openess   or customer service  or valuing employees  .... and does not  ==> that really sucks     Hidden charges ==> sucks





OpenIP Projects
( I do not warrant these are actually *open*.  I often am fooled by slick palaver. )
OpenSCAD
bitseed meshbox
Open Office
Project Libre


Projects that are pretending to be *Open*
Project Ara by Google   this project is sharing a lot of really great technology information...... but Google is trying to hold back key stuff in order to assert control.

Best Little Hardware Store in Denver Closes

Best Little Hardware Store in Denver


Tennyson Hardware Store Appreciation ( THSA ) day is April 4th , Friday , 10AM until end of day.  Come over and sign the big appreciation card.  There will be a limited amount of "appreciation cake ".  Bring some snacks or drinks if you wish , no obligation , see you there.  The closing will take 8 weeks , so I may schedule another goodbye.


Open from 1917 until April 1st , 2014 , Tennyson Hardware is the best hardware store I ever had the privilege to shop at.  Located at 40th and Tennyson ( 4034 Tennyson ) ( 39.772389,-105.043912 ) , it was originally called Clark's Hardware.  Owned by Larry Kort , it was staffed by friendly and helpful people.  It had a little of everything.  I based a lot of DIY projects on what I found at Tennyson.   Thanks, Larry
