Is a standards body being involved relevant? Many standards ratified by standards bodies are "pay to access" and seem much less open than many de facto standards where no standards body was involved.
- isodev 1y ago> Is a standards body being involved relevant? I believe it is. Taking the example of ATproto, it boils down to a managed platform as a service but they seem to do a #BuildInPublic thing where we can experience early developer previews. That’s not really open and it isn’t a standard.
- philosophty 1y agoHow are these not "open" if they're GitHub projects and entirely open source and open to outside contribution? The organizations that create "standards" are much less open than this, requiring in person lobbying, schmoozing, travel, and company affiliations.
