This adds language describing 2i2c's commitment to open technology via policy around licenses we use. Its goal is to provide accountability and transparency for 2i2c, and to clarify how our service differentiates itself on a commitment to open practices and principles. Here are the major changes:

  • POLICY: Add language describing 2i2c's policy to open technology licenses.
  • BLOG: Provide context and rationale around the language we've added.
  • MENUS: Move "Right to Replicate" under a new "Service Principles" header and add this commitment to it as well.

I'd like @yuvipanda to take a look at the language to make sure it is still correct. Please make any suggestions you like.

I'll leave 48 hours for 2i2c's team to raise objections and suggest changes. If after 48 hours there are not objections from more than 2/3 of our staff, or if we get explicit approvals from more than 2/3s of our staff before then (with @yuvipanda having veto authority), I'll merge this post and consider this policy active.

I like it and have quick feedback.

Search for commities and replace with communities.

“We imagine three audiences….” but there are only two listed below. I feel like this post/policy from 2i2c is also for upstream open source communities.

Minor suggestions but otherwise +1! Once those are incorporated this is good to go from my perspective

## We'd love feedback

We hope that these ideas both clarify our intent and the reason that we think it's important. We'd love feedback about early refinements to these principles in order to make them more effective, as well as ways that we can provide more community oversight and participation in evolving these policies moving forward. If you have any thoughts to share, please send us feedback to `[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])`.

I thought we discontinued this email. Where does this go to?

ok I'll switch this to ask for an issue in the team compass. I don't know what the recommended way for others to provide feedback would be

@choldgraf I just tested where this goes. i'm not sure but i do know at least it lands on my inbox :D so we can let this be for now - better than team-compass. let's not tweak too much - i just wanted to make sure the email goes somewhere
