Congratulations on the launch. It looks neat!
On a side note, I find it interesting that a few recent projects are going for the Open Knowledge name. The Open Knowledge Foundation (https://okfn.org https://okfn.org) is one of the first/largest proponents of the open data movement (think of it as a Free Software Foundation but for data, not software). They started in 2004 and developed many of the open data licenses and widely used infrastructure tools like CKAN (an open data portal platform).
Nothing to add, just found it interesting.
Disclaimer: I worked there for a few years.
- engomez 5mo agoBiased but great name of course haha. OKF timing was coincidence, we'd started I take it around the same time they'd started internally. What's good is that everything is pretty open formats/source and complimentary.

- edjw 5mo agoThe Open Knowledge Foundation is an organisation that has been going since 2004. <https://okfn.org/en/ https://okfn.org/en/> This is different to the Open Knowledge Format announced by Google in June 2026.
- tuukkah 5mo agoYou had started your AI project before 2004?
- engomez 5mo agoTalking about a few different things, OKFN and OKF.
- tuukkah 5mo agoOKFN and OKF are the same thing: "Open Knowledge Foundation (OKF) is a global, non-profit network that promotes and shares information at no charge, including both content and data [--] founded by Rufus Pollock on 20 May 2004 [--] Between May 2016 and May 2019 the organisation was named Open Knowledge International"
