too long, too much about Sensorica

Jim, thanks for kicking this off, and don't take the disagreements to be opposed to the idea, just wanting more discussion and refinement. But on the details, I agree with Fabio.

I think also it's a bit long. Without the part of what is Sensorica, it will be good

Umbrella. I like that word. Can we use " an umbrella organization" somewhere ?
Jim Anastassiou Tue 22 Sep 2015 8:13PM
Hi like that too...already use it often in this context: Sensorica should be the umbrella for all open source hardware projects"

In french:
Pour promouvoir la sensibilisation, l'éducation et fournir des outils pour l'économie collaborative ainsi que de servir le rôle de gardien au réseau Sensorica de renommée mondiale , une organisation unique favorisant l'innovation ouverte par développement de matériel libre (open source) et offrant parrainage fiscal à des projets , réseaux et individus .

I like the idea to define more clearly the vision. However, I find the proposal lot too long and too corporate. I believe Sensorica should not be mentionned.
Some definitions that could nurtute the mission :
- "CAKE provides support services to facilitate collaboration, sharing and participation, helping entrepreneurs to start and grow their businesses." (aces-cake.org)
- "An ecosystem that is striving to create a new world. CAKE is part of the emerging collaborative and sharing economy. We are a living lab for technological and social innovation, for creating and refining advanced collaborative entrepreneurial practices. We also act as a catalyst at the center of a large ecosystem of local and international organizations that spearhead new economic trends." (aces-cake.org)
- "An academy is an institution of secondary education or higher learning, research, or honorary membership." (Wikipedia)
- "The knowledge economy is the use of knowledge (savoir, savoir-faire, savoir-être) to generate tangible and intangible values." (Wikipedia)
Thus, there seem to be different words clouds
- collaborative economy, sharing economy, network, entrepreneurship
- promoting awareness, knowledge, learning, education
- collaborative production, collaborative practices, participation, catalyst
- tools, fiscal sponsorship, custodian, living lab, counselling
- technological and social innovation, open innovation, democratizing technologies, preserving the common good *projects, networks and individuals
so I would tend towards - with some other focus - to
The Canadian Academy for the Knowledge Economy helps organizations build sustainable performance through large-scale collaboration and open innovation.

@jimanastassiou - I think ACES-CAKE might be a good umbrella, but disagree with "Sensorica should be the umbrella for all open source hardware projects".
Too grandiose, too presumptive, will make other open source hardware projects question our motives.

I am going straight for a proposal.
